Iβve been seeing a lot of Arvell Reese vs. David Bailey discourse lately, and Iβm taking Reese. Hereβs why:
Bailey has been an ELITE pass rusher, but Reese is the more COMPLETE defender.
β’ 68 tackles
β’ 47 solo tackles (2nd in NFL)
β’ 8 TFL
β’ 4.5 sacks
β’ 1 INT
β’ 1 forced fumble
β’ 32 defensive stops (2nd in NFL)
Reese is the ONLY player in the NFL with 65+ tackles, 8+ TFL and an interception this season.
He can rush the passer, stop the run AND drop into coverage at a high level.
Bailey might be the better pass rusher, but Reeseβs ability to impact every phase of the game is what separates him for me.
Give me Arvell Reese. π
