Year: 2
Constantly drawing double teams and still winning.
Our second-year DT is tied with Leonard Williams for the team lead in sacks (6) and is currently 2nd in the entire NFL among defensive tackles, just 0.5 sacks behind the league leader, Maliek Collins.
Sacks: 6 (tied for Seahawks lead with Leonard Williams)
NFL DT Ranking: #2 in sacks among all defensive tackles
Run-stop win rate is 43%, which ranks 5th among all DTs.
For a second-year interior lineman in Mike Macdonald’s system? That’s insane.
And yes…. Byron Murphy > Jalen Carter
Byron Murphy II is outpacing Jalen Carter’s development curve and best seasons.

Good. And he’s not a head case like Carter.
🔥🔥🔥
Best case scenario for passing on Jalen tbh
Murphy has been awesome.
It’s also a credit to Macdonald that we don’t have a star pass rusher and their pressure rates are high.
I think Seattle is going to go after Crosby again in the off-season. They need a closer and it’s a weak draft overall. I’d punt that low first rounder for Crosby 10/10 times.
The rumor is Mafe was going to be traded if they could secure Crosby before the trade deadline, and I think Mafe is not someone you pay a high amount to.
