You are missing a very important factor: Ware racked up those numbers while getting every double team, every tight end chip, and offenses scheming around him. He was the focal point.Fair enough
Demarcus Ware 2014:
TCKL 40 SCK 6.0 FF 0 INT 1
How hard will it be for a journeyman DE to reproduce those numbers? Those are journeyman numbers.
George Selvie getting 7 sacks is no where near as good a performance as Ware getting 6.
So a journeyman putting up those same numbers is not the equivalent of what Ware did for us in 2013, and does not make us a better defense.
Ware was not good in 2013, and his 2013 production is not impossible to reproduce, but don't fucking insult my intelligence by saying we can import a journeyman, or expect George Selvie to start at RE instead, and that we are fine.
No, we aren't. We need a stud pass rushing DE to draw the attention, even without the numbers, before our DL can be said to be as well off as it was last year.
