Been watching him for the last 5 years as a Browns fan. Dude was doubled constantly, sometimes tripled. They’d chip, keep in their tight ends, pretty much everything from him getting to the qb and he still set the record. The last few games last year teams, didn’t want the record against them and completely schemed around him. It was wild. Cincinnati were having Burrow take 3 step drops and getting rid of it.You know what I'm wondering at this point, what does Byron Young look like after learning from Garrett? I think there's a high probability Young has more sacks than Verse over the next 3-5 years.
This also doesn't account for the double teams Garrett commands. Identical to AD you cant single block him so he will be double teamed non stop. Who else benefits from the more 1v1s and spacing? Does Kobe have a career year? Fiske? The talent upgrade we just got at pass rush can't be understated IMO.
He is going to make your other guys get lots of opportunities too. Unfortunately in Cleveland he was on the field constantly because the offense sucks so bad, so usually by 4th quarter he would be gassed. I’ll be very curious what he will do when he doesn’t have to be on the field the whole game. As much as I hate to see him go in Cleveland, I’ll enjoy seeing him succeed, and will also be very very curious about how having an offense will impact his performance.
