Heavy Hitter Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 As a team the Seahawks had 36 total sacks. The LE, LEO and SAM accounted for a little more than half of them.

YoungHeezy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Quinn coached Michael Bennett too after Seattle picked him up as a UDFA in 2009. Bennett actually made the team that year but was cut for an offensive lineman called up off of the practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Bro, many folks over look this fact. I would settle for actual TACKLING and planting folks instead of allowing big runs after failed arm tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Hitter Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 So you're saying sacks are overrated?It might sound that way but no. I was impressed that nobody had double digit sacks and how balanced they were. It goes back to what Schofield said "it's a team effort" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hageman or Babs or both should have a good year. They even cranked out 5 sacks from the MLB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawse Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Really sacks are fantastic, but it's the pressure we're missing that would be ideal. If we can get consistent pressure on the QB, we will get off the field. It just sucks watching blitz packages get stonewalled play after play.

Lornoth Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Ironically, they had fewer sacks because their pressure was so amazing nearly every play the other team planned for quick throws and such. I would love to have the passrush they do, but sack numbers as a raw stat don't tell us much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Bennett was at the top.They had 44 in 2013. If Quinn can get us 35+ sacks next year, I'd consider that a job very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rookie will likely get less than five like Mack and Barr last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Pressure comes fromthe threat of a sack. When your philosophy states "sacks are overrated", if you aren't scared of getting sacked, where is the pressure going to come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh.Defense is a big deal until Gurley's in the draft. Then your "dead grandma" is better than Khalil Mack and Anthony Barr, and you'd rather have Biermann than either of them. You're off your game man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
