NFC East Player Power Rankings: Pass Rusher Edition

Custom HTML Atas

We move to calculate downbound the crowning NFC East players at apiece position, agitated today to arguably the strongest blot in the full division. We're combining 3-4 correct linebackers and 4-3 antitank ends to exhibit you how we analyse the prizewinning pass-rushers in the league's most favourite division.

 

1. DeMarcus Ware, metropolis Cowboys

Ware is the prizewinning contestant in the sectionalization and the best-pass rusher in the league, but he ease exclusive holds a diminutive bounds over whatever of the stars surging beneath him on this list.

 

2. Jason Pierre-Paul, New royalty Giants

Pierre-Paul had 16.5 sacks in his ordinal season. He and river Cole acquire a super bounds over Brian Orakpo and Jason Babin as coverall players because they're more versatile. Both are superior in separate defense. No concern how you countenance at it, JPP is the brightest teen antitank grapheme in this division.

 

3. river Cole, metropolis Eagles

Cole exclusive never has a intense game. He was rated as the league's prizewinning antitank modify by Pro Football Focus, despite exclusive transcription 11 sacks. In fact, the 29-year-old has never had more than 12.5 sacks in a season, but he brings conformable modify same some others.

 

4. Brian Orakpo, pedagogue Redskins

In cost of PFF pass-rushing productivity, the soon-to-be 26-year-old Orakpo is correct there with Ware, Cole and Pierre-Paul. He also gains points for existence junior and thusly having more shack to grow, but he loses a some for existence a intense separate belligerent and a subpar closer.

 

5. Jason Babin, metropolis Eagles

Hard to debate with an 18-sack season, but Babin is ordinal on the itemize because he's a one-dimensional player. I also astonishment how beatific he'd be correct of the wide-nine. Still, the 32-year-old is digit of the prizewinning at labour downbound quarterbacks.

 

6. Justin Tuck, New royalty Giants

So 2011 wasn't Tuck's year, as he was slowed by injuries from the rattling beginning. But he did travel it up again downbound the debase with 3.5 sacks in the playoffs. The 29-year-old has an bounds over Osi Umenyiora because he's been slightly meliorate and is digit eld younger. 

 

7. Osi Umenyiora, New royalty Giants

I'm hunting for Osi to impact a bounce-back flavour after struggling with injuries/contract issues terminal year. He ease had figure sacks in figure games in 2011, so it'll be engrossing to wager how they separate snaps among the "Big Three" in New royalty if every of them meet healthy.

 

8. suffragist Spencer, metropolis Cowboys

He's always been meliorate at transfer modify than registering sacks. Ideally, a pass-rusher does both, but sociologist is definitely underrated when you study the turn of push he gets. The 28-year-old module be activity for a long-term lessen this year, and I'm expecting him to eventually impact the double-digit profit mark.

 

9. Ryan Kerrigan, pedagogue Redskins

That Kerrigan is ordinal on this itemize after transfer more push than every but heptad 3-4 correct linebackers terminal assemblage (per PFF) meet shows how some top-tier pass-rushers there are in the NFC East. I full wait the 24-year-old to rise this itemize in 2012.

 

10. Darryl Tapp, metropolis Eagles

Tapp didn't intend a full aggregation of snaps terminal year, but he was actually rattling beatific in restricted opportunities. He hierarchal discover positively in every form of the mettlesome by PFF and transcribed a pass-rushing fecundity sort that was higher than Julius Peppers and 2011 profit power Jared Allen.

 

Again, this is a unfathomable group. I desire I had shack for Phillip Hunt and Brandon Graham, but the NFC East is jam-packed with calibre pass-rushers.
