The pressures are great and show he's impacting but I just want those drive-ending sacks and FFs for me to put him in that All Pro category. Hopefully this is the year! I'd bet he's the most held DL in the NFL. OL hold onto him like he's the love of their lives. I've never seen someone held so much ever. Referees just watch it like it's their favorite show. If they called every hold on Crosby, the teams we play against would be averaging 5-10 penalties more per game easily.

I see Crosby getting held a lot and figure the Offense is probably distracting the ref and it's a called play. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referees see it, they just ignore it. There are literally two referees responsible for watching the OL and DL to make sure holding doesn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 My prediction was the defense would improve to middle of the pack based on Maxx have a DPOY effort. Through 5 games, he's playing at that level. If there was 1 other star on that defense, things would be really interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we've ever had two stars. Maybe 2006 Derrick Burgess and Nnamdi Asomugha. Or Bruce Irvin and Khalil Mack (and a super lucky Reggie Nelson with his 5 INTs). Would be crazy if we signed a star player on defense this upcoming offseason that actually panned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t stars but we have been getting solid contributions from Moerhig, Hobbs, Spillane , Deablo and John Jenkins this season so far Edited October 11, 2023 by bucksavage1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t swap him for any other DE in the NFL, he definitely should be in contention for DPoY if he keeps this up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wild thinking how few defenders I'd take over him. Parsons and Bosa are likely the only ones I consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great young pass rushers in the league now with Parsons, Watt, Bosa, Garrett and the likes of Thibodeaux, Reddick, Burns, Gary and Jaelen Phillips also flashing massive potential. Even guys like Sweat, Sweat, Rousseau and Allen have shown flashes. Good time for thos eof us who like the DLine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
