Barrett Ruud Worst Pass-Rushing LB of 2011

If you go to the final table, they show the worst pass rushers.

If you somehow can't or don't want to go to the page, out of 187 pass rush snaps, he had only 9 total pressures.

This doesn't include 3-4 pass-rushing OLBs, so this is among players who did the sort of work he was asked to do.

Glad he's gone.

what context is this in? how many times was he asked to rush the passer? i dont believe it was 187 times.

He was also the worst tackling LB I've ever seen. Dude was made of 50% cotton, 20% corn on the cob, and 30% Griffin. Not meant for taking on NFL ball carriers.

I'd say he's was the worst LB of 2011 period.

I don't know where we were going with that FA signing as well as Sean Smith.

You must not have watched many Eagles games, then.

Yea those Eagle LB's had a rough year playing behind Babin.

ruud was never that bad in tampa but he wasnt great either. we were just not a good fit for him.

McCarthy said he learned allot from Ruud.

Maybe it was how not to play MLB, IDK.

Ruud was very smart, he knew some things.

I think maybe the disconnect wasn't his intelligence, but his ability. His age plus his own shortcomings may have made him less than stellar.

Putting his intelligence in a body like Kam Wimbley or say Patrick Willis (a couple physical freaks off the top of my head) would result in a lot more productive career than what happened in Barrett Ruud's body.

His intelligence may have gotten him to a starting MLB position, though his athleticism didn't let him get over the hump.
