STILL WITHOUT A SACK IN 2022, JIM KNOWLES SAYS J.T. TUIMOLOAU “DOESN’T GET THE CREDIT” FOR HIS IMPACT ON THE BUCKEYE DEFENSE

Six games, zero sacks for J.T. Tuimoloau. Despite having played the most snaps of any Ohio State defensive end and the second-most of any Buckeye defensive lineman so far, seven players on the roster have more sacks than the five-star sophomore halfway through the regular season.

Tuimoloau’s defensive grade on Pro Football Focus (65.6) ranks below three other Ohio State defensive ends (Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Zach Harrison and Jack Sawyer), and of the 976 FBS players with at least a half-sack this season, Tuimoloau isn’t one of them.

But perhaps those stats don’t quite illustrate the whole picture. At least, not as far as Jim Knowles is concerned.

Birm mentioned on Rivals that sacks can be an overrated stat. JT is causing havoc and not allowing the QB a clean pocket, that's the important factor. And he's also getting held on almost every play, and it's not getting called. QBs are also using shorter drops to avoid sacks as well. None of that shows up in his stat sheet

Reminds of me Cameron Heyward in a sense; Cam didn’t dominate the stat line per se but that dude could absolutely wreck a gap, force runners in a different direction, penetrate and just fuck shit up
