Elvis Dumervil has 11 sacks

[Kaylore]

He is ranked 8th in the nfl. That puts him ahead of the following guys:

Mario Williams
Charles Johnson
Jared Allen
Anthony Spencer
Justin Houston
Shaun Phillips
Tamba Hali
Chris Long
Robert Mathis

He also has six forced fumbles. He had a good game yesterday. Wanted to give him som props. Miller has become a super star, but Dumervil is still balling.

Must make it hard for him to walk.

HEYO!

Seriously though, good game for Doom and Von yesterday.

First post in the thread and still the best in the thread.

[Jekyll15Hyde]

I had to say that I was shocked at this number when I heard it last night. It is a very quiet 11 sacks. Of course that has a little something to do with Von

Doom has been good, not special but good. He has improved his run defense but not enough. If you're on the team primarily because you're a "sack specialist" then you probably better have something like 14-16 sacks on the season. Don't think his play deserved a praise thread though. He hasn't been that good.

[TheReverend]

Still a top 10 pass rusher in he league and one of the best DEs in the bizzzzz. His run stopping woes are extremely exaggerated

Totally disagree.

Some good reading for you and others who may share that opinion of Elvis this year:

Highly suggested reading. May help sway your opinion of his performance this season.

I disagree with you. He's been very good and a big reason for our defense playing well. He has a lot of preassures and is out performing guys like Jared Allen and Mario Williams.

And I really don't think you're in any position to cricize someone for a thread they started when you started one a few days introducting a website most of us knew about and have been using for half a decade.

You assume most people on the mane knew about it. What 10 people said they've been there before. How many thousands of members are on the mane. You're going to say that most of then knew about it. That's really sticking your neck out.

And I disagree with your disagreement. I said Doom has been good. I don't think he's been SPECIAL. He had 17 sacks in 2009. Doom is a sack specialist, that's what he's paid alot of money to do. Even if he gets 1 more sack next week, 12 sacks is not enough to justify that contract. He needs more. Once again, this is not saying Doom is not good, he's been good, but it's my opinion he's not been as special as he was in 2009. That's the Doom I'd like to see.

Agreed on both points.....Doom needs to find another gear for the playoffs and I DID NOT KNOW OF THAT WEBSITE.........

Sure but add in his forced fumbles and QB pressures and it proves he is a player you better gameplan for.

In today's pass happy NFL, this is inaccurate. A guy who can get to the QB 11+ times consistantly and be passable in the running game will always be in demand. 14 -16 sacks is great on anybodies scale. I actually think his play against the run has improved even though it won't get him a pro bowl.

Michael Strahan had 4 of those 14+ sack seasons in his 14 season career.

Reggie White only put up 14+ sacks in 7 of his 15 seasons.

Julius Peppers has only done it once in 10 seasons, that one time was 14.5.

Joey Porter did it once in 12 years.

James Harrison has done it once in 10.

Terrell Suggs has done it once, barely with 14.0 sacks, in 9 years.

Jared Allen has done it 4 times in his 8 year career.

See how crazy your standard is?

Breaking double digits is the mark of a sack specialist. That pushes you over a sack every other game, meaning he's a better than 50/50 bet to get one any given week.

Doom is a sack specialist on par with the majority of his peers. His he Jared Allen? No, but Miller is and Doom is still producing. That's a rare tandem to find.

The standard is not crazy. What's crazy is that you think that just because those guys were all each fantastic players that every single season they played surely must have been a fantastic season. You know, it is possible that fantastic players can have good seasons also. But the mere fact that now and then these types of players rise up and have fantastic seasons, that is the bar for a "fantastic" season.

But what are we talking about here? Very small difference between a good year and fantastic year. We're not that far apart in how we view Doom's season this year. You think it's fantastic, you think it's one for the ages, I think it's a good season.

Kaylor - we've hit 6 pages and going strong

I'm not butt hurt. You're wrong, though.

Hard to imagine you're even being serious. We're very fortunate that Elvis is on our team. You'd be able to see just how big of an impact he makes if we had to replace what he brings.

*Knock on wood* Luckily, we don't have to.

There have been a few times when Elvis would have got a sack had Miller not beat him to the QB. Also the forced fumbles are huge. He should be in the Pro Bowl. His numbers when he was the only disruptive force on a crap line a few years ago mean nothing.

Wow, you're saying Doom's 17 sacks meant nothing? Say that to Dooms face, I bet he would cave your head in for saying that. It's usually HARDER to get sacks when you are the only threat. Teams can game plan for you. Doom hasn't been doubled at all this year. Clueless

Different position, different scheme, different DC, different role...and Von takes some of his old sacks away.

Yep, but it goes both ways. Miller does take some of his sacks away but Miller's presence also opens the door as well. That means teams can't double Doom, or chip on him as much as they would like. You can't risk that with #58 out there. Or, you could do as the Browns did, and not even block Miller and let him come in free to destroy your QB, hahaha.

[DBroncos4life]

I like how there are 3 non 3-4 DE's or OLB in the top ten in sacks and Doom happens to be one of them yet a poster thinks we shouldn't start a thread praising him Sacks are WAY down this year for 4-3 DE's. Right now, last year Jared Allen had 22, Jason Babin had 18, and JPP had 16.5 sacks. Lets look at what those three players have this year. Allen 10, Babin 7, and JPP 6 sacks. Everyone of those guys are down at least 10 sacks. Doom from a 4-3 DE has been pretty much steady outside of the 2008 season. Which is prefect in my book.

When he had those 17 sacks...wasn't he playing the same role as Miller is now?
