That's because he's had absolutely no one else to take the pressure off of him, and he even made them look good. Seriously, who's been starting opposite of him? Kalu? Darwin Walker and Hollis Thomas starting DT's...

Who do you think was eating the double teams laast year, allowing Trent Cole to get his 6 sacks?

And tell me, where's Trent Cole been since Kearse went down? Getting double teamed....how many sacks has he had since then anyway?

This defensive line misses Kearse a lot.

As far as sack numbers go, maybe....But he's done good for a guy who was this line's only thread for pressure up until late last year when Cole took over.

He was brought in to do two things. Take up blockers and get sacks. He's accomplished exactly one of those things. He's been subpar.

The defensive line was going to breakdown eventually even with Kearse. The DTs have been dreadful and Howard has completely fallen off the map. Also moving Howard inside and putting Cole on the edge would've been taken away from them due to their inability to stop the run. There are hardly any 3rd and long situations anymore. Teams would still run the ball right at us.

Howard at DT...proooobably a better run stopper then Walker.

I see Eagle fans always talking about players that take up dbl teams, and draw doubles here and there. That this is how to judge good players. Do you remember when good players produced and did more than just occupy space...oh of 2 guys!
