Ezeiruaku continues to expose Abdul Carter

Keep it up EZ, make us forget about that other cat that came from PSU something Parsons! lol

Wow, only 0.5 sacks for Carter? lol

 

[DrewCarryMore]

It's probably safe to say that Carter has a better environment and roster around him to outperform EZ. So it's nice to see that he isn't producing and that EZ is in even in limited fashion. I do expect his snaps to increase after the bye.

 

[DeaconMoss]

With the addition of big daddy Q, expect the DE to get more chances sacking a fleeing QB from the pocket

 

[youngjerryjones]

just numbers wise, it's easier to say he is a more effective pressure player with half the snaps. it's not apples for apples.

Kids just getting started!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Didn’t Carter just have a interception?

He needs more snaps

I havent watched too much of the Giants, but only .5 sack with Burns and Lawrence on the DL commanding a lot of attention is very disappointing.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

PFF has him as the better rookie over Carter through week 9 too

Yes that is. And don't forget about Kayvon Thibodeaux. Their dline is legit.

It's hard to succeed as a rookie, especially at some positions. We act like it's the norm just because some do.

People who like to scout off a stat sheet will see EZ's two sacks and assume he hasn't been getting to the QB.

It's been the opposite. He's been generating consistent pressure and he's been getting better and better every week. Now with Quinnen Williams next to him he might take an even bigger step forward.

A 15.7 percent pressure rate is elite. I think the league average is somewhere around 10-12 percent.

For sure. Just crazy to see the "top" edge from the draft struggle. He was supposed to be NFL ready day 1.

And the comparisons to (you know who) dont help....

NFC East repping the rookies.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

If you believe the stories coming out post-draft from the Cowboys, defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton was pounding the table for Ezeiruaku with the 12th overall pick in the 1st round.

That would not have gone over much better than the Booker pick. But putting EZ's stat line next to Carter, who was taken 3rd overall, kind of vindicates Whitecotton.

And the funny part is, Dallas just kind of discovered "who know who" was an elite edge rusher. Some people forget he was drafted in 2021 as an off-ball linebacker and that's where he started out early in his career.

Donavan is holding his own and outperforming most all first round picks. Hopefully it holds up. If he was a better tackler, he would have more sacks and TFLs.
