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.

So you made my case for me about Beasley being a one trick, specialist player and not an every down difference maker which is what you take in the top 10 in the draft. It's ok after Beasley is Jamal Anderson part 2 and is out of Atlanta in 3-4 years, TD and Quinn are fired maybe then Atlanta can build a decent team again. Just sucks Matt Ryan will be 33, so we'll be looking for a QB again in the not to distant future at that point.
