    In 143 career games JJ has 575 total tackles, 108 sacks, 26 FF, 3 INT and 3 TDs.

    In 71 career games TJ has 269 total tackles, 61 sacks, 20 FF, 4 INT and 0 TDs.

    This projects to approximately 538 total tackles, 122 sacks, 40 FF, 8 INTs and 0 TDs. Of course he will have to play as long as JJ and stay healthy, but he is on pace to exceed JJ's sack total and also his FF total.

    You know Benny, you keep saying positive things about the team and we’re going to have to send someone to do a welfare check on you

    I know, Glemm will be disappointed he doesn't get to post his usual "Who" or "Oh no we suck" or "Look at me" responses

    isn't assuming TJ doesn't slowly fall off as he ages? how hard would it be to see jj's stats during his first 71 games and see how much of drop off he had after that. if i had to guess the second half might be less than the first half.

    I just hope TJ stays healthy. JJ is out for the year again. How many seasons has he ended on IR? I bet it's at least 3

    Keep reading about how Garrett is the favorite for DPOY because at this rate he’ll have 23 sacks. At this rate, TJ will have 25.

    NFL record is 21.5 (22.5 counting Favre stat padding for him). This could be the year even without the 17th game.

    TJ should have been the reigning, defending, and soon to be 2x DPOY.

    Yeah, my son and I were discussing this about TJ on Monday night. I'd take him over JJ every day of the week.

    TJ is on his 4th year ending IR. He had 74 sacks his 1st 5 seasons. Only 1 year more than 5 sacks the last 6 years.

    TJ would need to win three DPOYs like JJ did, to have a better career than him.

    Yeah JJ has been injured a lot. Let's hope TJ remains healthy. I have little doubt he could surpass his big bro
