Great article confirming what we have been seeing. Jordan in particular is playing at a super elite level. LINK This line stole the show:

quote:

To be clear, Jordan is grading better than players like Von Miller, Khalil Mack, Justin Houston and the rest of the marquee sack-artists.



Some other nuggets:


quote:

Armstead didn’t allow a single pressure of any kind in 51 pass-blocking snaps, and if anything was even better as a run blocker, crushing Colts defenders both on the line and at the second level.



quote:

Armstead has yet to allow a sack all season long, and has surrendered a total of just seven pressures in five games without being penalized once. He now sits third in the PFF tackle rankings, trailing only Joe Thomas and Tyron Smith, two of the blue-chip names at the position.



quote:

edge rusher Cameron Jordan in particular completely dominating. Jordan was a one-man wrecking crew, beasting his way through the entire Colts line in a performance that saw him line up line up in five different positions along the Saints defensive front and notch nine total pressures (two sacks, two hits and five hurries) as well as a pair of batted passes.



Only issue I have with this is calling him an "edge rusher." That is an insult to what he is, and it's an example of PFF falling into using cliches. He is a Defensive End; he does it all and is not just a situational player.

Nugget:

Junior Galette in his 2 yrs starting as an NFL Vet, averaged about 42 tackles and 11 sacks.

Kikaha through only 7 games of his rookie year: 37 tackles and 4 sacks. Much more complete player. 3 FF, tied Junior for most in a year by him. Kikaha plays special teams too. One of my reasons i've always dogged the frick out of galette.

I forgot the link in my OP, and I have fixed it.

This is so true. Kikaha came out of the draft graded as strictly a pass rusher, and his work ethic has turned him into a complete player after only a few weeks of camp. He is the real deal
