When will Softball Taco get a sack?

[Verdict]

We are 6 games into the season. No sacks so far. Few tackles. Not near the QB.

When do you guys think he should get his first sack? I think he should have at least one sack in the first quarter of the season. That didn't happen. Not even close.

He is halfway through the second quarter of the season. No dice so far. Two more games gets him halfway through the season.

You would think he would eventually get a sack even accidentally.

We are 6 games into the season. Yet another Taco thread. Few insights. Not nearly a quality post.

When do you guys think people will stop making new threads about Taco? I think we should've had only one in the first quarter of the season. That didn't happen. Not even close.

We are halfway through the second quarter of the season. No dice so far. Two more games gets us halfway through the season.

You would think people would evetually stop making new Taco threads, even accidentally.

I hear Taco Bueno has sacks...........

 

[mattjames2010]

Jason Pierre Paul had 4.5 sacks his rookie year. His first sack didn't come until the 12th game in the season
JJ Watt had 5.5 sacks his rookie year. That's with actually being a starter

There are plenty of other examples of ends taking a little while to get going. Honestly, I don't expect any impact play from Taco until next year. Relax, the NFL is a tough transition.

It's a function of snaps more than games. And he almost got one this week.

Personally, as long as the team gets them, I'm not worrying about it yet. He might bust, or he might need time to develop. He seems like a dude with his head on right, so the question is just whether or not he has the ability. Right now, he got the spin move and not much else. It's going to be a while.

Based on what he’s done so far, maybe 2019 in the CFL.

 

[noshame]

This falls under the category oh I have no idea what the hell rods doing sometimes so I'll hold off on evaluating anybody playing in this defense

 

[theebs]

How long did it take Justin tuck to get sacks in ny? He turned out ok

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I have seen Taco come close a few times. He's getting there.

Beat me to it. Respect

When they stop rushing 3 and dropping 8. He is a project and time will tell if he develops. The FO needs better people advising them about what defensive players they should be drafting.

 

[robjay04]

Why is it relevant?

Yes he is a first round pick, I get that, but he the veterans on this team are getting to the QB. Do you want Lawrence to leave the field more so Taco gets more of an opportunity?

As stated earlier in this thead, there are plenty examples of successful pass rushers struggling during their rookie year.

Just let the guy grow instead of calling him out. If he was a starter, that’s one thing but I’m not taking Crawford/Irving/Lawrence off the field to give him needed reps at this point—those players are experienced and performing at a high level.

I haven’t seen people this vindictive over a pick in awhile.

Newsflash: TJ Watt is not a 4-3 DE. Get over it

 

[TheCount]

I’m already weary of all the whining about this kid.

He’s on a rookie 5 year deal. Whether he gets it next week or never, he’s not going anywhere, so stop crying about it.

It’s one thing to offer insight and another to ask, when should he, like it works that way.

If we could have drafted Myles Garrett, we would have.

 

[Hawkeye19]

I think he gets one this week... With how badly the Skins OL is limping and his increasing snap count-- I think he gets to Cousins and people will go from bagging on him to breaking out the anointing oil

Or better advise who should be coaching?

 

[jazzcat22]

We are getting more sacks than anyone thought we would. But yet some find ways to whine about a player.
Whine about the overall D and it's poor tackling. Whine about the pass D of the LB's and why Heath is still starting and not Woods.

But right now, Taco who has got pressures, but just not a sack yet, give him some time. He is a Rookie, do you realize that? He is basically in his 2nd year as a 4-3 DE. going from 4-3 in college the NFL and has a big learning curve.

 

[superonyx]

This Taco bashing will now be the norm since Jaylon Smith isnt playing much. With jaylon getting a sack the whiners have shifted their hatred over to Taco.

 

[Sydla]

Not going to give up on the kid already. That would be silly. People dumped on Lawrence early too.

But I'll say this, and I have no stats or comparisons to base this on, but my goodness, he seems to be on the ground a lot, and not just because he got pancaked. He seems to lose his footing, trip over himself quite a bit.

I wanted a trade back or get an extra 1 for next year.
