re: Why do Jordan, Ellis, Smith seem to consistently underperform?

I'm glad his suspension was over turned

i wasn't.... would have much rather a combination of Gallette/Wilson applying actual pressure on the QB....

hasn't for a while now.

he should be a DT... he's too heavy and slow to play DE....

other elite pass rushers are usually not as heavy, are more athletic, and/or they play standing up in a 3-4 alignment.... he doesn't have the speed to get around the tackle to get pressure, so he basically is reduced to a bull rush (which doesn't work) or a rip or twist move (also, doesn't usually work).... the best we can hope for is a blown assignment by a back in pass protection or a breakdown along the interior line, resulting in less attention being paid to the ends, which would allow him to get upfield without much resistance..... but aside from that, he's a consistent non-factor on passing plays.....
