Well he did put up 12.5 sacks last year, that's not quite as surprising...

With 5 of them in one game, I was curious to see if it was a fluke or not...apparently not.

People only see the sack numbers but pressures matter too. I have to wonder if he is getting pressures because they are focusing on Burns and Brown? Maybe Fox will finally start racking up sacks as the season goes on.

This. They have to put their double teams and best blockers on Brown, Burns, reddick.

Getting to watch the game now (missed it yesterday, was out most of the weekend) and the first play of the game for the defense is Morgan Fox bull rushing Armstead backwards before thumping Jameis in the chest.

They threw a flag on the play tho. Whack. But he did make helmet-to-helmet contact.

He played his ass off that's for sure. One thing I really like is we signed him for two years. Got tired of signing good players, they ball out one year and leave us

I think Fox is who we were hoping Weatherly was: a talented pass rusher who was buried on the depth chart of a good defensive line. They nailed it this time.

Excellent addition.

He should have been credited with a sack on that intentional grounding play as well.

It is amazing how good players look when the scheme is solid and guys get freed up for 1 on 1 action. Instead of double teaming 3 rushers like lastvyear they now have to.protect one on one and can't easily predict who they have to block.

A reminder that Rams fans were upset they couldn't keep him

At the moment, we really are a "pick your poison" defense.  8 players showing up on the sack list after 2 games.  One of the beat writers (forget which) termed it the "bring the house" defense.  It's really true.

Burns / Reddick

Brown / DaQuan

Shaq, Fox, YGM, Haynes, Nixon, Roy

And depth guys  like Luvu...

So many players an offense has to account for.  Pressure can come from any direction.

Here are the defensive stats through 2 weeks from NFL GSIS.

I really miss Duck Stockton and his senility fuging up guys names in every way possible. 

Donald LaFell, Bruton Breslin. Or was that Sam Rosen

Played much better than game one, this game he was a real difference maker out there not matter DT or DE or Pass or Run. Iants had issues blocking him all game, can not double brown, burns, and reddick....someone has to win the one-on-ones.

Lastly god dam is Peat isnt the weakest looking strong person in the whole world, had like 100 LBs on Fox and got beat-down regularly.

They sounded the same to me. But I’m pretty sure Stockton was also Donald lafell.
