I didn't really mean that statement as a knock. Also maybe overrated is not exactly the best way to say what I meant.
Maybe "flies under the radar"? In other words, we used a first round pick. He had a real nice 2014. Those other years, and I would have to research, but it feels like he will have a couple games where he has multiple sacks (like the Browns prediction you made) but in big games he is just invisible?
Again not knocking him or throwing him under the bus. he appears to be a class act and hell of a teammate, and that is worth something. But as far as his job on the field goes it is , like others have said, slightly above average or average. He does not have a lot of different moves or techniques. He sort of just bull rushes play after play. I think that is where the vanilla comes in.
I just looked at his game logs since 2011. You can see where he has several multi sack games, but there are stretches of weeks where he does zilch. Even 2014 he had a four sack game. Most great, or even really good , pass rushers that have a four sack game are going to probably have more than 14 on the year? However I will leave 2014 out of this. It was a real solid year for him.
I am not down on the team right now. This is not burn it down talk. I do not think he needs to go. Lol. Just weekday babble on my overall feelings of What Kerrigan is bringing to the table on a consistent basis in year 6 of his career....
