N/S Lions release pass rusher James Houston, who had 8 sacks as a rookie [Update: Browns claimed James Houston off waivers] (2 Viewers)

8 sacks, but not all sacks are made the same. Could have been a bunch of coverage sacks and/or sacks where he happened to have no resistance on blitzes, stunts, etc.

Detroit, as craziest is it sounds, is an organization that knows what it is doing, and they aren't in the business of letting good young pass rushers walk out the door just as their final playoff/home field advantage push begins.

He's opposite Hutchinson, so he is always singled up and not a focus of the blocking scheme, but primarily an outside speed rusher:

A lot of guys don't hit the norm in regard to measurables but are just good football players.

Yep! The Saints used to have a good INSIDE pass rusher his size.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like 2, maybe 3 of the sacks were of the “fraudulent” variety in terms of skills indicators, however the ones that weren’t were impressive enough. He even got one on Cam Robinson.

He’s worth studying for sure.
