And he had Crosby on the other side

I'm confused?

I'm confused?

I'm wondering if he thinks Mack was still playing for the Raiders?

 

[melvin dangerr]

Is he cheaper than Myles? Lol

Probably cheaper by the mile

 

[gopkrs]

Yeah. I thought he was still on the raiders

And he had Crosby on the other side

Mack doesn't play with Max Crosby anymore since he's a Charger. He does have Bosa on his team but he's had his share of injuries the past few years. If Mack only had 6 sacks last year, it could indicate he's still getting near the QB, but can't finish like he used to.

More likely it's a fluke. Sacks aren't really stable. He had 17 in 2023 and I doubt he lost his ability to finish that dramatically in one season.

Also, Mack actually never played with Maxx Crosby.

Pressures are the better barometer for a guy to see if they're starting to slack off or have issues.

Mack Pressure totals and pressures per snap charted below:

	Prush snaps	Pressures	Pressures per Prush snap
2024​	419	52	12.4%
2023​	534	88	16.5%
2022​	518	59	11.4%
2021​	176	22	12.5%
2020​	531	59	11.1%
2019​	531	70	13.2%
2018​	505	73	14.5%
2017​	533	79	14.8%
2016​	575	98	17.0%
2015​	581	82	14.1%
2014​	479	54	11.3%

For reference some of the best in the league as many consider and some recognizable names:

Verse - 16.3% (most pressures in the league at 89 per PFF)
Greenard - 15.1%
Hendrickson - 16.1%
M Crosby - 11.7%
N Bosa - 16.4%
Garrett - 17.4%
C Young - 13.7%
TJ Watt - 9.5%
Sweat - 11.6%
Karlaftis - 11.8%

Mack is still producing at just below ELITE levels and is still playing a healthy snap count too.
