There is plenty of love given to Banks, Barron, Collins, Mukuba, Ewers, Bond, Golden, Hill Jr., Taaffe, Majors, and Muhammad, and for good reason. (comma or no comma?) But four players are not given the praise they have earned:
1. Barryn Sorrell: 27 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 6.5 TFLs, and 11 QBH (does that mean QB hits or QB hurries? @Anwar Richardson). He just plays his ass off game after game and snap after snap. I would argue his consistency is his number one asset. He reminds me of Tim Crowder. Or Greg Ellis with the Cowboys.
2. Hayden Conner: I have learned from the weekly review of the OL by @Alex Dunlap and it seems Conner has played well. His grades from game 9 to game 1: 81-78-77-81-80-80-79-78-78. He’s third behind Banks and Williams. Also, he always seems to be second after DJ Campbell and ready to throw down when some DL takes a cheap shot at Quinn or Arch.
3. Jaylon Guilbeau: 43 tackles, 2TFLs, and 2 PBUs. Another player that seems to be a model consistency: plays his role, does his job, and shows up every game. He just hasn’t made any wow plays. He doesn’t have an interception, forced fumble, or fumble recovery. Who gets to stab Texcalibur: the player that caused the fumble or recovered it?
4. Silas Bolden: 17 catches, 174 yards, and 1 TD. But his true impact has been as the punt returner. He makes some very questionable reward v. risk decisions, but he has been great back there. He will house 2 before the season is over. He’s so very close.
Who are the others? TIA.
