Surely we know the folly of using sacks as a dispositive metric of impact. Jalen Carter isn't Chris Jones, but he's REALLY damn good.
And again, I think with Davis (or Ojomo in pass rush situations) at the nose and Milton Williams at the other 3-tech, y'all are sleeping on that front. Williams especially -- he's been a very good player for them this year. And I think that's largely because it's not the same as what we do, IMO. It's a 3-4 hybrid sort of front but we're looking at these guys using an even front sort of lens.
But that's not how they role.
You just really can't make a comparison between their players and ours, or their players and the 2022 team. It's a COMPLETELY different system.
But they do create some headaches with it. When they get pressure with Carter/Williams/Ojomo/Davis -- that's a pretty strong bonus when they also have Smith and Sweat coming off the edge.
I'm just disinclined to hand-waive that Eagles pass rush, especially when combined with a deep and talented secondary.
I don't think they're better than Houston, but I do think they're better than Buffalo and by a pretty fair bit.
We put up 23 vs. Houston and 32 vs. Buffalo -- split the gap and that's how I get to around 27. I think that's a pretty makeable and reasonable target mark.

I mean, if they want to send 5 every time and let Mahomes work with the quick spaces underneath, i don't think we should complain too much.
