If that's the case then its just cherry picked highlights that are being shown. Noone is arguing Aldon isn't supremely talented, the question is how productive was he last year, where we had a top defense, and how much will we regress this year with his absence (which we dealt with for over half the season last year).
If I'm wrong about his grading, I stand corrected. Then I would be interested to see how our defense ranked in our games without him last year. If the fall off is big then I will be appropriately dismayed.
Those were plays I had handy so I understand if you think it's cherry picked. I don't have PFF so I don't know his pass rushing productivity grade.
35 total sacks last year for us...19 in the 7 games with aldon back. We were definitely better with aldon on the field in terms of sacks. He may have got 2 sacks but the team had 17 in the 7 games he played vs 16 in the 9 games without him.
