It is a battle between him and Allen for most disappointing season.
Unfortunately, Paynes contract year is appearing to be the outlier.
He is playing much like his years before.
He MAYBE flashes twice a game, never gets any kind of consistent push, and doesn’t finish that well when he does get there.
And ultimately, him and Allen are a big part of this defenses failures.
You can’t pay All Pro money to those two guys and not even get average starter play.
Relative to other top DT’s his double rate is low.
And the top, top ones still win at a high rate.
Through week 9 he was not in the top 20 in win rate…
And all the guys in the top 20 had a double rate of at least 50%
