Ezeiruaku still the best rookie edge rusher

[Risen Star]

U mad?

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Carter has double the amount of pressures. He wouldn’t be considered the best out of the rookies?

I'm guessing Carter has more snaps

Love this player. Loved the pick at the time. I thought we stole him. Highly productive at BC. Only going to be better as we go along this year. He should be on the field more. I've noticed he's getting more playing time than Sam Williams. Telling.

Yes, Eze has the highest success rate Carter has the highest total mostly because he had more snaps..
Of course it is possible that Eze could have a lower success rate with more snaps (especially in running downs were you can't tee off).

 

[NotaCowboysFan]

Wouldn’t the argument be that Carter seeing the field a lot more means he’s likely better given the production rate is similar.

One would think if ez was so good he’d have no problem being on the field the majority of the time considering how bad this defense is.

 

[Nexx]

DLaw had zero sacks in the eight games he played as a rookie. He had two sacks in his first nine games his second year but finished strong with six sacks the next seven games. It takes time with edge rushers usually.

He's a beast. Great draft pick. Stole him.

 

[Cowboyny]

Unless you are a very special player, there is a steep learning curve at the position. Usually, you see year 2 where they start to make a real impact

 

[jblaze2004]

He will only get better. I hope he keep balling. He has been surprisingly good vs the run or at least better than I thought he would be.

Pressures are not everything

Way more snaps if he has 19 and still at 18 percent.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Why is ranked #9 on this list then

 

[CATCH17]

He's a beast. Great draft pick. Stole him.

Next year he should be really good.

He needs to add some strength.

Every team is different. Cowboys DL likes guys fresh and a rotation.

 

[HungryLion]

EZE and Houston should get starters snaps.

Fowler, Kneeland and Williams should be the rotational pieces.

Yup. If we draft a rusher with our first pick, Ezeiruaku will probably be the better rusher in 2026. DE is a long term investment

Well Carter is better. He is also the 2nd pick in the draft where Ezeiruaku was a mid 2nd round. Ezeiruaku's play has been uneven, and he is playing with guys on the edge that basically at the same skill level right now.

Right now he is better, correct. But for what we need on our team he's a nice player to have at our disposal. We don't need him to be all world just yet. I think in time he could be as good as Carter.
