When will we get our next sack?

We were what, 2nd in the NFL in sacks last year? Ouch.  I mean, we couldn't stop a run to save our lives but damn, at least we could hit your QB.

A lot of that though was us dialing up a ton of blitzes and pressure, then getting burned because of it. Not sure why but Snow hasn't sent much extra pressure at all so far this year. Not very aggressive, maybe still just feeling out the NFL game or he's scared for our secondary getting burned if we blitz and the pressure still doesn't get there (likely).

Yep we blitzed a ton last year and if we got there we got a sack and if we didn’t it was 20-50 yards.

We were tied with the Seahawks for 18th at 26.9% in blitz percentage, so pretty much league average. The Ravens led the league with 54.9%.

We're 18th on the NFL currently at 23.3% this year. So slightly less, but not dramatically so.

Yeah, it’s just more dangerous when we do it because our secondary was and is so bad.

I didn't really think we blitzed that much last year, but I did think our dlinemen were so focused on the pass that they sometimes forgot about or ignored the run.  Hard thing to prove, but it certainly seemed that way at times.

Oh, I agree with you. There were some vets on short term contracts looking to pad that sack figure IMO.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
