I agree that I think most people underrate Tank, but I find it very interesting (and maybe concerning?) that out of the totals you just quoted, only 8 sacks and 9 TFLs have come after Week 8 in each season...it's a bit challenging to unpack - is he hurt? Is he commanding more double teams after people realize in the first half of the season he's the real deal? I don't know, but it's strange that he puts up less than 33% of his production in the last 50% of the season
I agree it's interesting and it could be any number of reasons.
If we judged Aaron Donald just on the Superbowl then he would be a JAG. Obviously there were any number of variables why he didn't influence that game as he did others last season. The first being Bill Belichick.
Obviously there are different defensive schemes, different coaches, different looks etc but the take is that over the past two seasons Tank has matched the production of Mack and Miller.
