Meh

Sack and few pressures isn't a bad day

Never heard of him. Does he play football?

I mean this is a football forum unless you're looking for a dating website!!

He does get some pressures. He is playing a little better. But he doesn't get real many sacks. Thought he would get more on this team with the attention on Bosa. He has 2 sacks as of now. He had 10.5 sacks with the Bears. 10.5 and 9.5 with the Rams. 10.5 with the Bills. On various different years throughout his career. I just thought he would give you more sacks. Maybe middle and late season he will get more.

2 sacks / 6 games = 0.33 per game

17 games * 0.33 sacks per game = 5.61 sacks. Rounded up = 6 sacks.

He's on pace for 6 sacks right now for the season. Sometimes they come in bunches so the trajectory could change. He does get pressure.

He is a ghost. Good rotational piece, but we need to find a gem opposite bosa. Jackson was another miss. They really haven't drafted d-line all that well have they?

Floyd has played well to me and is getting pressure on the opponents' QB and hasn't been bad in the run game. He is also working more against the better OT every game allowing Bosa to work mostly against whoever the weakest opposing OT. Apparently the 49ers believe this is the best way for the front 4 to be effective. Doing so will cause Floyd to maybe have less sacks but he still has time to get his normal double digits. He is still he best DE we have had opposite Bosa since Dee Fore imo.

To his credit I did see him getting close on pressures a number of times last night.

yessir. Bosa gets all the attention. you see why he signed with us. he's not POY like Bosa, but he can thrive opposite Nick.

I forgot this guy was on the team.

He has 3 sacks half a season in. That's shockingly low. Considering what he is capable of in other parts of his career. He does get pressures and I'm thankful for that. But the sack numbers should be well up from this.
