I think this forum over rates Chandler.
He is a good DE, not an elite DE nor verging on elite.
I saw him fail to pursue on several run plays early on the season, plays you see a Ninko or whomever chase after. He disappears sometimes and sometimes in big games.
He is not someone like McCourty or Revis who are elite level. Few are. Again, I'm speaking to the over the top expectations of many here who short out over any critique.
As to yesterday, I thought he played about as well as could be given the blatant "collaring" by the Ravens OL. Kept up the pressure but as in many games made none of the plays that distinguish an impact player from a competent starter.
