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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
