Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Everyone knocked the front four's lack of pressure. Buffalo actually has the most sacks in the AFC East this season with 14. Much better than expected. IMO it has a great deal to do with the return of a healthy Aaron Schobel. he has played well and better than most of us all expected and hopefully will add to that thi week. We are on pace to destroy last year's total of 24. A coincidence, Schobel was out? I think an effective, healthy Schobel has helped Kelsay also.

I knew Schobel had some left in the tank. And Kelsay has played pretty well this year, gotten some sacks.

Some could also be contributed to Sanders, the new d-line coach.

They are doing well by stat standards. I give them credit. 1 attaboy

On the flipside this is a really wierd year in the NFL. There is some really good football being played and some really bad football being played. I don't feel the Bills are playing a very good brand of football overall. It's like the league has no middle this year.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

Schobel is relentless out there. And he helps the rest of the D-line shine. Kinda like Ted Wahington made Sam Cowart shine that year etc..
-Kelsay is getting some fanbase respect.
-Kyle WIlliams is a beast & i want a jersey!
-Stroud is so worth the pick we traded. Makes me wish we would trade more 4-6th round picks for proven players..
---Great thread since i had no idea we had that many sacks.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

kelsay's play has been respectable. i can't knock him at all this year.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

The d-line getting the sacks and pressure this year is a direct correlation to the amount of picks as well.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

The defense has seem more aggressive this year. Probably as Fewell and Jauron backs are against the wall.

I think the run stop, or lack there of, can be directly attributed to injury. The younger guys tend to over pursue and a counter or split belly type play will expose this for all its worth.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

It's surprising though because all the games I've watched it always seem like the opposing QB's seem to have plenty of time to throw the ball.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

But but but but Schobel is horrible and overpaid, he needs to go..... right?

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

I think Schobel is on the downward slide of his career. That doesn't mean he can't get it done. It simply means he will have less and less good days on the field. And to be quite honest here, he has never been a force in the running game. That could be partly due to the fact that the Bills haven't had a complete and decent DL in nearly a decade.

Re: Buffalo Surprising Sack Total

I think its very much due to Sanders coming in here.

Coaching doesn't always solve the issues, if you don't have the horses. Look at McNally, he did nothing with our O Line. He was touted as one of the best in business.

If only we had a dominating lb'er we'd be doing so much better.

It seems to have in this case.
