IS SUH STILL A DIFFERENCE MAKER? I know scheme/teammates figures into this
Fair question. All his stats are going down, tackles, hits, hurries, pressures. He's only played on one team that stopped the run well (2014 Lions).
He's played with Cliff Avril, Nick Fairley, Ziggy Ansah, Tulloch, Levy, Slay, Quin, Cameron Wake, Olivier Vernon, so the talent deficit thing is a bit exaggerated, he's played with some good players, some really good.
He hasn't been First-team All-Pro since 2014. He's averaged less than 5 sacks a year the last 2 years. For his career he's averaged 7.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks per season. He averages 10 penalties a year according to PFF>
Stats are not everything, but there is some value to looking at them.
Suh will be 31, it is fair to ask if he's begun to hit a wall.
