Will the Real Kawaan Short Please Stand Up?

Recommended Posts

I feel like we don’t hear Kawaan Short’s name as much as we used to. A DT is not always going to have his name called out, but he was known as a pass rusher. So, I looked into stats to let the numbers talk. These are all average per game numbers.

2018 (8 games)

Tackles: 4.60 per game 

Assisted Tackles: 0.75 per game

Sacks: 0.25 per game

2017 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.06 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.38 per game

Sacks: 0.47 per game

2016 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.44 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.56 per game

Sacks: 0.38 per game

2015 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.44 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.19 per game

Sacks: 0.69 per game

 

In Summary...Right now, based on the last three years, he’s about 133% in solo tackles...45-50% assisted tackles....35-65% sacks  

We really need his push, as our pass rush isn’t the best. So, what should we expect from him? What are your thoughts?

Good Points by PantherPhann89 and Doc Holiday. So I looked up Kyle Williams (who’s next to Star) stats to see how they changed. 

 

2018 (Average - 9 games)

Tackles - 1.78 per game 

Assisted - 0.56 per game

Sacks - 0.39 per game

2017 (Average - 16 games)

Tackles - 2.06 per game 

Assisted - 1.25 per game

Sacks - 0.19 per game

2016 (Average- 16 games)

Tackles - 4.0 per game 

Assisted - 1.38 per game

Sacks - 0.31 per game

 

So, not sure that it changes his stats too much, but Kyle Williams is not Kawaan, so...just some numbers to compare.

He has underperform. You cant tell me that a guy making 16m a year through 8 games can only get you 2 sack. Hes playing a position where “sack # means a damn lot. I dont see him making plays in the backfield. I see Kyle Love more than anymore in the interior of the line. 

That fact that you got a poop from someone other than me shows you what you know. I’m not arguing silliness

I think it's a combination of lack of edge rush and a drop in play from the other DT spot. Poe really hasn't made much of an impact and Butler is a rotational DT that doesn't add much in terms of pass rush. 

The DL just needs an infusion of talent and unfortunately that's not going to come this season.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
