I bet the best play Watson makes in Cleveland is tracking down a defender who picked off a pass. We all know he's going to get ample opportunities with all the picks they throw in Cleveland.
It's not just the sacks. It's also the run blocking.
Among the 32 teams in the NFL, their offense ranked #26 in run blocking and #17 in pass blocking. They have Willie Colon and that's about it. You can't just look at sack stats, there others out there such as QB pressures ect.
The Pats cannot afford to miss on draft picks this year. This team has to hit on some picks like they did in 03. I'm getting tired of their poor draft record to be honest.
Not sure of the money they gave him but he should be good as long as he doesn't have to be a starter. He's more effective as a situational pass rusher.
Chara has not been playing well at all imo. He's been pretty mediocre by his standards for a large portion of the year and I'm not even factoring his offense that much into it.
Krejci has battle some injuries but he's taken a step back this year when he should have continued to build on his good season last year.
I'd love for Wideman to have been mediocre this year. He's been AWFUL.
Of course you do better when your line mates are playing well but Ryder has been on multiple lines this season and has been non existent.
We all knew Thomas couldn't replicate last season but did anyone really believe he would have lost his starting gig to Rask so early this year?
Damn near everyone has underachieved this season. Couple that with their injuries and you have a recipe for disaster.
Everyone who follows the team closely knew that a repeat of last season wasn't coming. Nearly every break last year was in their favor.
