I’ve been saying it since last season… Fowler brings a ton of juice to the pass rush. People shouldn’t underestimate his value to the pass rush just because he’s not a starter. He is very good.

Fowler isn’t so good that he can be that guy that all offenses have to worry about like Micah or Nick Nosa are… but if he is the 4th or 5th rusher for the offense to worry about, he is absolutely a very big problem for offenses.

Even if Fowler isn’t getting sacks, he is always around the QB and making him extremely uncomfortable. He flies off the edge and when the offense is fighting to stop Parsons, Odighizuwa, and D Lawrence, the offense very much needs to worry about Fowler, where he is and if he’s blocked effectively.

He needs some props because he’s a good player, he’s one hell of a bargain for Dallas, and a very valuable piece of Quinn’s defensive front. Don’t overlook him… just appreciate a good player who is going to cause his share of problems for opposing teams.
You don't want Fowler as a starter, as he is a weak anchor run defender and tends to wear out the more he plays.
That's probably why the former 1st round pick, did not last with the Rams.

But get him in certain spots and nickel packages in Quinn's scheme and he adds key rush ability in that rotation role.
he has legit rush skills and he's coming fresh off the bench.

I was shocked to read Dorance Armstrong got only 18 snaps against the Giants while Sam Williams got 30+. I thought Armstrong played better, especially against the run. Williams over pursued a number of times leaving his side of the field open for Jones to run our of the pocket. This week, the Jets are going to test the perimeter run defense of Dallas. They better be more disciplined in their rush.

I think any team would be happy to have him.

Guys like him on contracts like that are what builds a championship football team. This team has more favorable contracts than we usually do. Hopefully it translates into quality depth in the playoffs when we need it.

We will ALL be rooting for him to hit on his biggest incentive: 10 sacks + Playoffs = $1M
