Best D-Line Week 5 Individual

No doubt 2017 won Week 5 – None . . . end of discussion.

2017 has begun to fulfill on the field the enormous potential it possessed on paper. The Syracuse game was close, but it was due to the usual culprits – an I-have-no-idea-how-to-stop-the-other-team’s-receivers secondary and a Jekyll and Hyde (mostly Hyde) kicking game. I recommend we move Chubb to cornerback and Jones to safety on passing downs, although it may slightly reduce Chubb’s sack totals.

Let’s look at the numbers (if you are pulling for 2005, here’s where you will want to look away).

Week 5 Individual Stats:

2005 Solo Assists Total TFL Sacks
2005 Solo Assists Total TFL Sacks
Lawson 3 2 5 0 0
Tyler 0 2 2 0 0
2017 Solo Assists Total TFL Sacks
Hill 0 6 6 0 0
Roseboro 3 2 5 1 0

In every category, 2017 outshone 2005.
