Chad is the best Run Defender on the team, he sets the edge against the run & makes it a lot easier for our other guys to make plays.
You guys think unless a DE has 15 sacks, then he sucks... It's not as Black & White as that, you have to also factor in that the first 2 years of his career he was wasted in DNo's God Awful scheme.
He lead the team in TFL's last year, despite playing for most of the season with a Broken hand.
I fully admit that I'm biased towards him, so maybe I don't judge him the same as y'all, but I do think a lot of y'all are unfairly critical of him & don't really realize he's actually one of the best overall DL's on the team.
I mean, he certainly doesn't get the same leeway y'all give dudes like Berrios & Gus, or some of the OL's who haven't played anywhere near to what they were ranked coming out of High School.
