I want you guys to take a look at this page of rookies and tell me what you see:

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticPositionCategory=DEFENSIVE_LINEMAN&season=2010&seasonType=REG&experience=0&tabSeq=1&qualified=true&Submit=Go

What I see is this...

Suh and Alualu, two top ten picks, have been playing well. Hardy, who is a 6th rounder, has been playing just as well though, and with much less playing time.

Hardy is 1 tackle behind Alualu and just 7 behind Suh.

Hardy is .5 sacks behind Alualu and just 2 behind Suh.

Hardy and Alualu have 0 interceptions while Suh just got his first.

Hardy is the only one with a forced fumble.

Hardy is the only one with a safety.

Mccoy who was picked number 3 overall right behind Suh is being outplayed by Hardy.

Hardy is outplaying Pierre-Paul who has much more help.

Derick Morgans year is a wash since he is injured and will miss the rest of it.

Basically, we currently have the second best DE in the draft and got him in the 6th round and get to pay him much much less for a few years.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing, but I just can't get excited about stats and individual rankings, such as Godfrey's INT's, etc. I'm unable to see any silver lining. Five weeks in and the season is over.

If we played in the west we would still have a shot at the division!

The point of this stuff is to sort of say, hey, look what we can build on going forward. We are getting equal or better production out of a guy who was drafted in the sixth round, compared to a guy who went tenth overall. Even Norwood has close to the same amount of tackles as Mccoy who went third overall.

Let Hardy play more. During the last game I had to ask myself after Hardy made a nice play where he was going to be soon. If you notice, Fox has a thing with taking him out quickly shortly after he makes a nice play. I fail to understand the logic. Hardy gets a sack? Hardy sits for two drives. Hardy gets a safety? Hardy sits for a series.

There are some positives this season.

Gettis is looking like he may be that lost 2nd receiver we've been dying for.

Hardy looks capable. and scary. Like, very scary. I fear he's going to kill someone, holy crap.

Godfrey shows improvement in the passing game but still has to make some go of it.

Our LB core is beasting it up in general.

Pugh had a nice play yesterday, and maybe we'll see some more out of him in the future.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
