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
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
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.

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
Not to get too overconfident, but we haven't even played P-burgh yet. What's the over/under on sacks and pressures in those two games?

Re: The Ravens Sack Pace
The upcoming schedule should be favorable to the pace as well. E.J. Manuel is going to be able to avoid a few, but if they get behind early he could be in trouble. Ryan Tannehill is playing better, but on the road against Cleveland, they only scored about 23, while taking advantage of three Weeden Ints. Rodger won't be easy to bring down, but his offensive line is not too hot to trot right now and if they go into Pitt, on a roll, which will likely and largely depend on how they do versus Green Bay, Ben might get sacked seven times, while avoiding another seven all on his own.
