The top 4-3 DTs in the league are Pat Williams, Kevin Williams, Tommie Harris, Albert Haynesworth, Domata Peko, and Jonathan Babineux. Could you guess how those top guys rank in Tackles For loss (Penetration) if we through Clifton Ryan on that list
1. Johnathan Babineux 10
2. Clifton Ryan/Tommie Harris 8
3. Pat Williams 6
4. Kevin Williams/ Tony Brown 4
5. Albert Haynesworth 2
6. Domata Peko 1
Ryan isn't on the same level as a pass rusher, but to me he is one of the most underrated run defenders in the league. Just like how Pickett was one of the most underrated run defenders when he was here. Behind the bad run stats there are good players. Case in point who has heard of Kyle Williams of Buffalo? No other DT had more TFLs (11) and only Kevin Williams and Jonathan Babineux had had more sacks, but Buffalo's run defense is worse than ours. Ryan is an RFA for now, but we can't make the same mistake twice keep this guy in town.
