Question on Hardy

[Zod]

Honestly don't know the answer.

Out of 17 games played, how many games did he record at least one sack?

Better question is, how many games without a sack this year? Also 8.

He had a sack in eight games. He failed to record a sack against Seattle, Buffalo, Arizona, Minnesota, first Atlanta game, San Francisco (both games), Miami, and the first New Orleans game. We were 8-0 in games he had a sack in and 4-5 in games he didn't record one in. He had 5 sacks in the first 8 games and 10 in the last 9.

All wins.

So less than half the games he played this year.

Thats the way I'm seeing it.

[Zod]

SO what do you guys think. Do we spend a ton of money and risk not signing other improvements for this inconsistency?

Correct. I'm more interested in his total hurry numbers though, as well as his total tackles... he is invaluable in run support.

Yes, he is very good against the run. But highly paid DE's are paid that for sacks. There are lots of good run stopping DE's out there, who typically make less.

True.

I would love to have Hardy back, but if we aren't going to be able to move Stewart or Williams, we've gotta get OL and WR help. We won't be able to do that if Hardy is expecting CJ money. Life isn't fair, gotta make tough decisions sometimes, that's the way it goes.
