JPP would be my #1 overall pick on defense if I were starting a team. I’d take Eli at QB #1 overall.

Mr. Wright you’re head resembles an *ss with lips. JPP is NOTHING compared to Demarcus Ware and if you even try to compare them you belong in the shed with all the other tools. Football players wear helmets to play football, Mr. Wright wears helmets for other reasons…..

Nothing to be ashamed of. Not everyone can be Demarcus Ware.

Yeah, I know. Running free and unblocked without a hand on the ground for two-thirds of the game is definitely tougher to do.

Guys a beast. anyone watching the game can see that. So glad we got JPP one yr before RG3 got here. it’ll be nice to see them go at it 2xs a yr for the next 10 or so seasons.

Babin probably had 10 stops TOTAL on run plays, all he did was race up the field wide. Who cares?

dwinsgames…

last I checked, being a 2-way player meant playing offense and defense. There’s only 2 or 3 guys in the league doing that this year and JPP isn’t one of them.

That’s because you never played football and obviously don’t know the lingo. As relates to defensive ends, two-way means playing the run and pass effectively.

Stats are for geeks. People who watch Giants games know that JP DOMINATES by blowing up run plays, forcing plays to the outside.

Skins fans are already overstating the 4th and 10 play. JP still almost ran Griffin down after the juke move, and still had the sack and strip.

Same with Tuck (although this year the numbers are somewhat reflective of the ineffectiveness). He doesn’t have tons of sacks for his career, but he is a two-way DE and has consistently set the edge for Boley, Kiwi and everyone else who has played Sam for us over the years.

Interesting.

His teammates were saying he’d have 30 sacks this year.

If I had JPP’s ability I would average at least one sack a week

I agree with a lot of the posters previous to mine. I point to the Philadelphia Eagles last season with the ‘wide-nine’ which allowed Jason Babin and Trent Cole to have career numbers but if you watched them you were able to see how running backs would run right by them because they were constantly overpursuing. JPP is just as dominant stopping the pass and he is stopping the run. His long arms really cause havoc when it comes to grabbing QBs, running backs, and deflecting passes.

Fewell is right. JPP is a great 2 way player unlike most of the sackmasters. The big difference this year is that teams are game planning to stop him. He is getting chipped or doubled every play. So while it is not realistic to expect his production to stay at that level, it is realistic to expect Tuck, Osi, Kiwi to make up for JPP’s drop since they are facing single blocking always. Their lack of production is the major disappointment, not JPP’s.

Agreed. People want to say he is having a down year because of the sacks. I watch this guy every week, and he makes plays at the line of scrimmage I’m convinced, not one other player in the NFL can make. Even without the sacks he abuses opposing tackles, and makes it very difficult for RB’s to get outside. He is having a tremendous year and playing at a very high level. The main problem this team is having is the other 2 DE’s (Osi and Tuck) have been dead.

Reminds me of last year and Clay Matthews. Sacks are one of the worst stats for measuring how good a player is.

People get wayyy to hung up on sacks. Most of the good things D-Lineman really do don’t even show up in the box score period.
