Can't imagine him doing more. I'm sure teams will increasingly double-team him.
The other thing is, someone like Watt started out hot, peaked in his second season probably and then the injuries hit. Still has been a great player, obviously earning that huge contract.
Nick credited some of the interior DL who said it helps set up his pressures and sacks because they've also been producing.
Obviously someone like Armstead who is playing way above his previous seasons. I don't know if Buckner is getting doubled though, as he hasn't done as much as last year.
I don't expect a lot of fans to get this but he COULD get a lot better.
Will he? I don't know.
Has he been better earlier than I thought? Yes.
Consistency is still something he'll need to work on - body lean, hand usage, and still has a ways to go as a run defender (Saleh's own words on the last one).
Also, I question your eye if you think Watt peaked in his 2nd season. Watch 2014, 2015, and 2018. and parts of last year WITH A COACH and tell me again if you think he peaked in 2012. Frankly, that's a bunch of hooey and I don't know where on Earth you pulled that from.
If you want to poke the subject with a stick with tone, honestly a better way to do it would be to bring up him staying healthy which is actually something more legitimate.
Do you just like to disagree with people or something? This is your tone about 97% of the time but this time, quite frankly, you are wrong. Asking as nicely as possible.
