I know we all got incredibly excited the last time we played the Bucs in the preseason, but it's hard not to get excited given our personnel. Our starting LBs are all huge guys that will run over almost any TE or RB in the NFL. We finally have the back four to blitz them, and Spikes in particular look really good attacking and not being forced to let QBs go after him.
Will this finally be the year our secondary is able to hold up enough to let us blitz on any down and distance? We saw it last year in the back half of the season, and if we take it another step forward thanks to continuity and secondary we could see Belichicks master plan finally come to fruition.
Sacks:
Wilfork: 2.5
Kelly: 5.0
Chandler: 14.5
Ninkovich: 6.5
Spikes: 4.0
Mayo: 3.0
Hightower: 4.0
Others: 6.0
Total: 45.5
Last year Francis, Cunningham and Scott combined for 8.5 sacks. Martin had 1 as well. Whether they/other newcomers can replicate that success is a big question mark.
