Why did Micah only get credited with 1.5 sacks yesterday when the film and clearly shows 3 sacks

This is why the stats don't matter on Micah. I hope all this talk about dumping him goes away. That kid is an absolute beast. Did you see the play where they double covered him and he turned around the lineman so badly that he ended up running back towards his QB?

Fans have been complaining about him all year. He is a generational player. We need to continue to build the defense around him. With him and Overshown, this defense could be scary.
Fans like sacks. But Micah impacts half the plays in a game. He is the guy everyone on the oline fears and watches. That helps others and pressures, hits, as well as rushing a WB decision can be a huge impact and not show up in the box score

I also was surprised they awarded the Madden trophy to Micah. I expected it to be Overshown.
I like Micah and him being on the field creates plays for other players (even our average ones) but Overshown isn't one of our average players and from my seat he had the overall better game than Micah and deserved a Turkey leg.

I agree with you

Is this what we call the TJ Watt Bias? Anytime TJ Watt even breathes on a QB he gets credited with a sack. I saw Micah sack Drew Lock three times solo yesterday, then today he only gets 1.5 sacks credited. BS.
I saw one where Kendricks? tripped up the QB, and Micah landed on him. Not sure how that was credited, but it should have been Kendricks, IMO.

I saw that and was thinking the same thing, did Micha get a whole or 1/2 sac for that one?
As much as I like Micah, I don't think he should have gotten any credit for that one. Granted I didn't see a good replay view, but it looked like the QB was going down to the ground, just from the trip up but Kendricks (I think it was him).

I thought the 1.5 sacks were legit. He shared one with Mazi and Donovan Wilson beat him by a split second on another one.
The issue with the Wilson sack is that Parsons hit Lock before he fell down. It looks like he was falling but you can really never tell. Should have gotten a half sack.

A healthy Trent fears no one. Completely agree. But most folks have to scheme for him.
most olineman sure but that's a low bar for the future highest paid defender. Plus that dude just didn't want to admit his everybody fears micah comment wasn't true. I don't think the top 10 left tackles lose sleep before playing micah
