Azeez Ojulari ties Giants rookie sack record 7 games in

BSIMatt : 10/24/2021 9:26 pm
He’s currently NFL sack leader among rookies., tied for 13th in NFL overall.
But BBI says  
StingerProf : 10/24/2021 9:28 pm : link
He stinks. So, good try, Azeez. Can’t fool us with stats!
LT with 9.5 his rookie year

The year before sacks became an official statistic.

Exactly, nothing to see here, fuck the positives we can't have positivity on this or we get canceled. Coverage sacks, clean up sacks, QBs jumping into his arms for comfort, that's what BBI tells me.
It wasn’t just the sacks  
BillT : 10/24/2021 9:33 pm : link
He had 5 tackles, 3 solo, and 4 QB hits. He’s got the potential to be good. He’s had a pretty good start.
He had a 27.6%

QB pressure rate….extremely active and fun to watch.

That might be a conservative estimate.
Today he was a difference  
joeinpa : 10/24/2021 9:36 pm : link
Maker.

Not a surprise how a legitimate pass rush made the defense a force today.

7 sacks in 7 games, is impressive. Having constant pressure with those sacks as he did today, is. Game changer

Yes. I’d like to see more of him.
Scouting reports said  
Lines of Scrimmage : 10/24/2021 9:45 pm : link
He would have to develop more pass rush moves. The big thing I thought was controlling the run and winning down and distance. Helped the rush overall.

I’m pleased with his progress and he is someone with a lot of upside. If he can excel in the run game and be just a good rusher I’m happy.
Ojulari  
AcidTest : 10/24/2021 9:52 pm : link
had a great game. Lawrence, Williams, R. Johnson, and B.McKinney also played well. The Carolina OL is bad, but it was nice to see some consistent pass rush and solid tacking.

Agreed.
Azeez  
WillVAB : 10/24/2021 10:13 pm : link
Is one of the few reasons to watch with an eye towards next year. If he develops into an elite ER that’s one massive hole to check off the list when the off-season rolls around.
I would argue  
greatgrandpa : 10/24/2021 10:15 pm : link
LT by himself forced the league to make sacks a statistic. He also made left tackle one of the highest paying jobs in the league. He also took a franchise that was a laughing stock and willed it through his greatness to become proud again. On the downside he was not that great of a golfer
I expected double digit sacks out of him... everyone said  
90.Cal : 10/24/2021 10:20 pm : link
He was my 13th ranked player in the whole draft (KT was 20th)... next year's draft is loaded with Pass Rushers. Let's get a guy to rush opposite of Azeez! Thibodeaux, Hutchinson or Karlaftis!

We have 2 wins too many to get Thibodeaux. He's going to end up in Detroit or Philly.

Don’t leave out the kid from UGA Adam Anderson. A lot of people like him more than GK and Hutchinson.

There are so many Edge guys and Anderson is one. Georgia's defense is loaded with future pros (IDL Jordan Davis is a freak). I personally have liked Karlaftis for a couple of years now, when healthy he's a terror and Hutchinson has really caught my eye this season. Thibodeaux, Karlaftis and Hutchinson are my top 3 personally.
wait who drafted

He's a rookie that's played 7 games and has 5.5 sacks. How the hell do you know he's not a pass rushing stud?

Chase Young had 3.5 sacks through his first 7 games. Joey Bosa had 4.5 sacks. Myles Garrett had 5. TJ Watt had 4. Khalil Mack had 0. Danielle Hunter had 2.5. Are these guys pass rushing studs? Christ. Maybe give these guys a chance. He's 21 years old.

by the fact he's on the field and not injured. You can't say that about many others.

JonC : 10/25/2021 9:07 am : link
against a backup. It's encouraging to see him win the one-on-one repeatedly and rack up the stats accordingly. Now, do it against starter caliber tackles is the next step.
Ojulari looks like he will be a keeper.  
Heisenberg : 10/25/2021 9:23 am : link
Solid against run too
When he's just tasked with rushing the QB  
AdamBrag : 10/25/2021 10:03 am : link
He's been really good.

He struggles with diagnosing right now and that has hurts him. Yesterday, he was able to spend most of the game just going after the QB. Diagnosing plays is certainly a developable trait, especially for such a young player.

He has high upside.

Fucking ouch. Well said.
I thought he walked into a couple sacks..  
BillKo : 10/25/2021 11:14 am : link
...to start the season. But yesterday was you need pressure and he delivered.

The fact that he's getting home is a good sign, let's hope for continued development.

I guess this isn't one player we should consider trading? :)
It’s good to see…  
bw in dc : 10/25/2021 11:21 am : link
Second round investment paying dividends. Take the production and hope AO can start to add more depth to his game. OCs are very bright in the NFL and they will figure him out. So let’s hope AO is up for that challenge.
We knew he would need some time to develop  
Section331 : 10/25/2021 11:26 am : link
some more pass rush moves and to bulk up a bit. If you ask me, he's a head of schedule. He's a smart young man who by all accounts works hard, I have little doubt that he will only get better.

It was a bit odd how many here were already writing him off after 5 games.
I didn't see anyone writing him off  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/25/2021 11:35 am : link
It was Ximines and Carter getting killed for not producting.
