I remember it a little differently. Yes, the Pats were reportedly frustrated with his rehab. However, his production as a former first-round pick was poor. Upon his release, I thought I remember him talking about being miscast in a 3-4, looking forward to being able to join the Rams and their attacking style, etc.
Here are the numbers you asked for. I think if we drafted a first round DL and he produced this way his first two seasons, we'd say he failed here. JMO.
2014 Pats 10 total tackles, 1 sack
2015 Pats 15 total tackles, 2.0 sacks
2016 Rams 35 total tackles, 3.5 sacks
I really liked him last year and thought he was a great signing. Very quick first-step. I just don't know how that will translate to a 3-4, where responsibilities of your lineman are often a bit different.
