The Ravens Sack Pace
The Ravens are currently on pace for a little over twenty more sacks than they had last year.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
Excel,
I looked quickly at your thread title and thought it said "The Ravens Suck Face".
I don't know if the Ravens will end up with 20+ sacks above last year's total, but with the way Suggs and Dumerville appear to be feeding off each other i would think 10+ above is certainly doable.Twenty years of Cheers.
Thanks Baltimore Ravens Fans - You're the Best!

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
It's not just the sacks, it's the constant pressures. I'm very pleased with the overhaul of our front seven, both in run defense and the pass rush. And we have some rotational guys who have barely played due to injury who could make the final product even better.
It may not have been evident against Peyton Manning, but we're going to be just fine against QBs this year.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
The Ravens are ranked 6th in team sacks.

Doom and Suggs have combined for 31 pressures this year. Only one pair of OLBs has had more pressures than them this year: Houston and Hali in KC.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
To be clear, the Ravens had about 37 sacks last year and are on pace for 58-59 this year.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
We'll do better than 20 by the end of the year. I expect they will stop the run in most games forcing teams to pass. This will set up the pass rushers to go after the QB. This is something they couldn't do last year. Plus, with Suggs healthy and adding Dumervil we have a powerful set of edge rushers.

I'll take this over a receiver that can't win in man coverage. *ducks*

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
This is a tremendous front seven. I would not be surprised to see that unit have 50+ sacks this year.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
Possibly stupid question: How many times has Pees sent a DB on a blitz this year?
Heck, how often has he sent more than the DL plus Doom & Sizzle?

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
That's would be sooooo awesome. Last year D really hurt. I'm super excited, maybe to much, about what this D could become and look like by season end. I'm so glad to to be a Ravens Fan.
