I'll say 1st. And Maroney gains 2,000 yards.
I go from 6-10, not because our OLB's are kickass, but because we have significantly upgraded our secondary and our MLB's... this is a team sport.
With Seymour gone, they get hardly any push from the D-line. Their inside backers haven't been able to blitz up the middle effectively and it it's rare to see them blow up plays at the line of scrimmage. Banta-Cain is the only player on the outside that could actually make a play.
I'd rank them in the lower half of the league. 26-32
What really is quite alarming is that Banta Cain was our top sack man last year with 10, yet all of those were against scrub teams IIRC and he went without a sack in 10 games of the 16 so he had a couple of good games with the rush and non existent in the others
Someone better pick up the slack or we will be giving up 30 points a game average.
The only reason I didn't vote for 33rd is because there must be some team, somewhere, with a worse set of pass-rushers than ours.
For the life of me, though, I can't think of who that team would be.
Fair points, though both Wake & Misi are better than any of our OLBs.
The Patriots were 22nd in sacks/attempt and 23rd in sacks last season. However, they were only 4 sacks out of 13th. I think we'll get 4 sacks more than last season, so I voted 11-15, a range that last year would have been 35-37 sacks, an increase of 4-6 over last year.
