Before passing judgement, let's see how their sack totals and run yards against go over the next 9 games. If they get better, pretty much going to know why.

Apples and oranges.
When Fred played it wasn't the pass happy league it is now. He also wasn't the 3rd pick in the draft.
You wouldn't know an apple if I threw one at your head, apparently.
They didn't used to sack the quarterback back then? Yes they did.
You don't look at stats to judge a guy like Dareus at his position, generally. Vince Wilfork made First-team All-pro four years back, and he had THREE sacks that year. His tackle numbers were underwhelming as well. Why did he he make First-team All-pro with those stats? Could be because of his role...the position he plays.
Ya think?
You could find several other examples as well. Learn something maybe.
Smerlas was a true NT in a pure 3-4 defense. Dareus is a DT.
Moreover, Smerlas didn't take plays off like Dareus does.

We'll see about that.
Could be that Dareus will play more of a true NT in Rex's defense this year, from here on out. He's done it before, too.
Yes he did.
LOL. You don't pay enough attention.
