Again, did Khalil Mack make an impact his rookie season? No, aside from tackles, he didn't even do as much as Beasley did.


Aside from tackles, cause you know that's kinda the whole point of defense is getting the guy on the ground. It's not like Mack was 35/4 vs Beasley's 26/4. No it was 76 to 26 Mack had 50 more tackles then him.It shows Mack was around the ball a lot more as a rookie. I thought Vic was a 1 trick pony before the draft a speed rusher and he really didn't show improvement in the area of diversifying that this season.

Mack plays strong side OLB and also played 1095 snaps his rookie season. He stood up off the line and played the second layer half his snaps on run downs specifically to play the run. He also had a SDE inside of him occupying the OT, which means on passing downs he was matched up against a TE or RB when he rushed the QB.

Beasley plays weak side DE and only played 539 snaps. HALF Mack's damn snaps. And he rarely dropped in to coverage. He rarely played on run downs. And he was always matched up against a offensive tackle rather than a TE or RB.

Beasley is specifically a LEO playing opposite the strong side. Teams run towards the weak side on average only 37% of the time.

Mack easily got exposed to quadruple the runs that Beasley did.

Now STFU about shite you have no clue about.
