Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

I'm going to go out (perhaps way out) on a limb and say the feel-good, tearjerker, Hallmark movie of the week story of the year will be Mike Barrow and his team leading 11 sacks

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

arrington with 12 and I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to see guys like Washington, Bowen, Springs, Daniels, and Griffin wind up with 4-10 sacks each.

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

I was going to say that collectively, our team total will set a new record. (Of course, it would be extemely optimistic.) Then, out of curiosity, I looked up the record. 72 sacks by the '84 Bears. That is insane!!! That is 4.5 per game. But as somebody already mentioned, over 40 sacks would be nice. Anyway, I'll go with Lavar as the individual leader at 10.

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

I think Arrington has a big chance, but I think our boy Sean Taylor will lead that department. I think Williams plans on using him a lot more this year.

nah, the feel good story of this season is gonna be ade jimoh and how he stepped up and earned a starting cornerback role, and proceeded to lead the team in sacks. what can't that guy do?

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]Above 40 sacks is generally a pretty good season[/QUOTE]

Isnt over 40 excellent? Most teams dont usually get ove 40 do they. How many do the steelers have on their record years? Was it in the 40's or 60's, I cant remember?

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

I am surprised so many people said Daniels. I picked Arrington becuase to say he is due for a big year is an understatement

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

If Chris Clemons make the roster as a pass-rush specialist, he could end up with a bunch of sacks. :pi_lightb

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

He had like 2-3 in just a few appearances if I remember correctly...

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

Bowen - 22

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

It's a really tough call who will lead the team in sacks. Williams' system isn't conventional and doesn't rely on dedicated pass-rushers from the front four. Rather, he uses a lot of blitzes from the secondary and linebackers. Moreover, he covets players who can do more than blitz - he wants them to stuff the run and cover as well. So, we'll see a lot of players with 4+ sacks, but won't see anyone with 12+ sacks.

Ultimately though, I'll go with Arrington having 10 sacks.

Re: 2005 Sacks Leader?
 

I went with Arrington, also. He is gonna be a beast this year. Does anyone have a copy of the preseason game where he nearly tore Vick's head off?
