[Merged] Saints Select Clemson DT Bryan Bresee

I’m curious. Those that know more about Breese, what do you make of his lack of production and downward trend in stats (I understand the injuries and personal issues) looking at his breakdown (if I missed something or got numbers wrong I apologize)

20/21 12 GP 10 GS 23 TT 13 Solo 6.5 TFL 4 Sacks
21/22 4 GP 4 GS 12 TT 5 Solo 3 TFL
1.5 Sacks
22/23 10 GP 7 GS 15 TT 9 Solo 5.5 TFL 3.5 Sacks

Defensive snap counts

GT 36 of 54
FUR 37 of 50
WF 50 of 75
FSU 22 of 80
SYR 33 of 72
ND 41 of 63
LOU 40 of 69
USC 15 of 69
UNC 28 of 73
TEN 28 of 69

So most snaps in a game was 50. That game he had 2 Solo tackles and no sacks. He had 1 sack against each Syracuse, Louisville and Tennessee and a 1/2 sack against Georgia Tech. Most solo tackes in a game was 2 (4 times) and his most active game was GT with 4 total tackles with 1 being a solo. Florida State and SC he was held off the stat sheet. Against Syracuse and Notre Dame he has only 1 solo tackle and against NC had one assisted tackle. He played 330 of 604 total defensive snaps, about 55%. Why what seems to be a decreased snap count the later the season went on? I lost a sister, so I understand what he was going through was not easy, I don’t want to bring that into question. I don’t really watch Clemson football and I understand the box score doesn’t show everything but I’m not too excited by what I do see.
