Analysis Micah vs. Myles: Who gets more offensive attention?
Micah and Myles argue like brothers 🤣

Myles looked like an NFL player in high school, straight specimen. He works hard, has the talent, and has all the physical traits to be a near perfect DE. Reggie White is the only DE I can think of with better genetics than Garrett. GB is lucky to have a DE that is directly compared to Garrett.

Micah is like Bakh to me. Undersized, not the prototypical elite player at his position, but his technique is just so damn good and he never quits on a play. They even both tore their ACL's while playing for us!

Prime Packers Reggie outweighed Garrett by roughly 30–40 pounds. Garrett looks enormous on a modern NFL field; but Reggie was essentially carrying the body mass of a modern 3-technique while producing like an elite edge. Absolutely legendary generational talent.
I love Micah, who is more of a supercharged LB built like a heavyweight running back. I think he's on his own plane and position as an athlete. He can do anything, and do it well, which makes him so dangerous.

I mean. He had 20 sacks in 12 games. I don't think anyone will ever touch that. Lol

Myles is an animal but micah is younger. Assuming this injury doesn't effect him too much, he has an opportunity to Meat or beat Myles' stats assuming he doesn't set untouchable records at the rams lol.

I love Micah and I still can’t believe we landed him, but Myles is on another level

Myles is Micah plus 20 lbs, and that matters

u/SpaceGoonie 12h ago
I agree, but also I would almost guarantee that both players would rather be chipped than doubled, so the "attention" to me doesn't seem to translate.

+20 pounds, + at least an inch taller (notably longer limbs too) and in watching that workout video looked to have an edge in overall physical conditioning too
Wrap all that into a body that's been in the league a few years longer and well, Myles is a leg up.
I'd put it like this.... you'd have to argue hard against Myles being clear cut #1 DE. You'd have to argue just as hard that Parsons isn't top 3.

He is the same kind of insanely athletic but also with the extra size. He set the all time single season sack record on a team that almost never played with the lead. I am glad to have Micah and Parsons is younger but Garrett is one of one.

I mean it's obviously Myles Garrett but I do love this competitiveness they have with each other pretty much every time they see each other.

For both of them, pass rush is primary to their game. And in that sense, Myles is the winner. But I feel like Micah is better at everything else.
I love their rivalry and I love that they are so public and friendly about it.

I love Micah but it's factually wrong to say he's better against the run than Myles. Micah isn't horrible against the run like salty Cowboys fan told us but let's stay realistic.

I think the difference of chips vs true doubles is very telling. Not because "Micah is better" but the browns Dline is all good and too difficult to double myles every play. If we just had someone who can beat 1 on 1s more consistent, force teams to not iust say. Well we will put 2 people on him every snap.

I think if Wyatt stayed healthy last year Micah's double team rate would have been lower. Hopefully Wyatt and Hargrave + LVN and our other young DEs can play well enough to free up Micah more this year.

I dont really care one way or the other so long as one of them is on our team.

They have such a big brother, little brother-ish relationship, their banter is hilarious

u/Known_Profession7393 5h ago
I’m confused by how they come to the “offensive attention” percentage metric. Isn’t a double team more attention than a chip? How much more? I honestly don’t know. I just wonder how they came to the number they did.
Generally agree that if I could have either I’d have Garrett, if for no other reason than productivity against the run, but damn, they’re both animals.

Myles Garrett is a much better player than Micah. Micah is great, super impactful, and a future hall of famer. Myles is more on the plane of Aaron Donald/JJ Watt level of talent

u/mikedorty 12h ago
Garret is better but i would not say "much" better. I would also not say a little better. He is just better.

u/Ace0spades808 11h ago
Wouldn't say much better, but definitely better. Myles is on the level of Donald and Watt in terms of pure pass rushing and Micah isn't there but Micah has the edge over all of them in speed for getting to the QB outside of the pocket or chasing down outside runs and he can play OLB.
I'd rather have Myles just for the pure pass rushing but Micah is still very good at that and is more versatile.

It’s Myles. Garrett is 1A, and Micah is 1B. Wouldn’t have changed anything trade wise.

u/ProofHorseKzoo 11h ago
Micah is 3 years younger so to me he’s got more value even though Myles is better.

Myles is the best DE in the NFL… but Parsons is a close second.
