A post in another thread got me thinking regarding Garvin's production in 2019. There were multiple games last year where I caught myself saying "Where the **** is Garvin?". Most of us thought he was destined to be a higher round draft pick after an impressive sophomore campaign and displaying the disruption ability NFL teams covet. However, production fell off, he declared early, and ended up a 7th rounder.
While stats don't always tell the whole story, these are pretty telling (2018 had 1 extra game):
60 tackles vs. 37
17 TFL vs. 9
5.5 sacks vs. 5
The significant drop off in tackles and TFLs show a less impactful player throughout the course of a season.
Was the emergence of Rousseau the biggest factor? Did defenses figure him out? Was Baker not utilizing him correctly? Did his motor stop running as hard? Combination of all that?
I'm curious on your thoughts.
