Sack totals just vary man. When he had 14.5 two years ago and 10.5 last year think about it...those represent 15 snaps and 11 snaps collectively in the entire season.You say he was doubled but why then wouldn't he be doubled in 2017 and 2018 when he put up big sack numbers and had no opposing DE to help take pressure off of him from being doubled? This season Dallas had Quinn on the other side and he put up double digit numbers in sacks so why wouldn't an offense double him instead?
The doubling argument doesn't hold weight. You can say his decision to postpone his surgery played into the season or you can say he was simply performing for a new contract and once he got it, his performance dropped dramatically.
It just makes no sense to have that be the primary way people judge edge defenders. Same with interceptions.
