Eagles DE Derek Barnett was very good in 2018 before he got hurt - PhillyVoice
When the Eagles traded Michael Bennett this offseason, most observers rightfully pointed out that Bennett was the team’s most productive edge rusher in 2018, as he had 9 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and an impressive 30 hits on the quarterback. With Barnett coming back as the starter at RDE in 2019, many consider that to be a downgrade from Bennett. I disagree. In Barnett’s first four games, when he was healthy, he was a very disruptive player, both against the pass and the run.
