Chuckle... YOU were the one who asked which DEFENSIVE TACKLES were better pass rushers... when you get a laundry list of players who fit that bill, you then try to change the parameters of your argument...
Well, no matter how you slice it, RCF, 5.5 sacks and 6 pressures in 48 games is next to NO pass rush... particularly when in 2005, he was surrounded by two defensive linemen who were both first round draft picks (one of whom was the number one pick in the draft), and who WERE good pass rushers-- John McCargo and Mario Williams... with the attention those guys got from opposing blockers. it's a safe bet that Tank wasn't getting any double coverage, but he still didn't put up any kind of pass rush numbers...
McCargo had more quarterback pressures in his senior season alone (when he missed half the games due to injury) than Tank did in his entire career... and he barely got on the field as a rookie in the NFL...
Give it up, it has CLEARLY been proven that Tank Tyler doesn't offer a team much of anything in the way of a pass rush... he can tie up two blockers, clog up the middle, and that's about the extent of what he brings to the table...
Which would be OK in a NT-- if he wasn't also a PUNK...
