Crazy that he generates that kind of pressure.. and only has 4.5 sacks.
He'll get there. Right now he seems to be facing a lot of double teams and the rest are cashing in on his pressures. Plus the Rams rookie record is 8 and we've had some great pass rushers.

Agreed.
And he’s got to get better at finishing.

Yep.

I'm just going off of memory but I recall close to a handful of sacks he should have if he had just tackled with better technique.
 
I don't know. Outside of Dotson and possibly Kyren I don't know who else would have made it.
Fiske absolutely deserves it but aside from the 2 you listed would get in. Puka has been too hurt missed too many games.

Puka. Kobie maybe. Fiske?

Puka's numbers are lower than all of the other WRs listed. Yes he was injured.

Going off of numbers yes both Turner and Fiske have the edge. It is hard to base defensive performance/impact solely on numbers. Fwiw, a few weeks back Fiske was the only Ram in the top 5 of fan votes.

One thing I saw somebody else mention is look at the RB's in the league. IMO the NFC wins by a large large margin which is opposite of the QB's :)

I guess that the NFL is an ultimate team game.
Verse being in the Pro bowl is good, but leaving him off and having a number of other Rams included would lead to the same discussion we are having.


Pro bowls seem meaningless, it seems.
 
Is anyone else surprised that Verse made the pro bowl? I mean the kid has a lot of pressures and has played great for a rookie but there are no other edge rushers with high sack numbers like Bosa, Hutchinson, Micah Parsons, etc? Sorry... too lazy to research.
