so watching the game I saw the stat of last year Brady being sacked 21 total times and Cassel was like 19 or something similar to those numbers.

does anyone have a breakdown of how many sacks per game and if it is decreasing, improving, or staying the same?

if he stays on pace he is going to be sacked about 50-60 times. he absolutely needs to improve on unloading the ball. granted at least he's not fumbling or turning the ball over, but he's gonna get himself injured at some point.

I think that one factor in this though is that a lot of his sacks seem to have been 1 or 2 yard losses (I think there are at least 3 or 4 that were a tossup whether it was a 6" loss or 6" gain and therefore not officially a sack, but a rush) which is basically the same as an incompletion. On many of those if he throws it away instead of running around and taking the sack, there is very little difference.

MrBigglesWorth

this is true. SO that kind of makes it worst. if we look at how many rushing attempts he had and how many were for a 1 or 2 gain so we can almost think of that as a sack which makes the breakdown all the more worst.

I see you decided to take the more negative approach to the data....

so take that data out. what is the NFL average for a qb getting sacked in a season? anyone have data?

and more importantly i want to see if he is getting sacked less, more, or the same?

The most times a QB has ever been sacked in a season is 76 times..(David Carr in 02')
Tom Brady has been sacked 203 times from 00' to 08'... so that makes an average of about 25 per year....The overall average I would say is 30+ per year...
Sacked 19 times in 5 games is definitely more than the norm.
The most times Tom was sacked in 1 year was 01'..41 times (Matts half there)

MrBigglesWorth

thanks for the research

This does not surprise me. Our Offensive line was a disappointment in the super bowl. It was atrocious in the preseason, and we are all witnessing the same during the regular season. Mankins and Koppen's struggles have really surprised me. Has anyone focused on what they are struggling with when you re-watch the games?
