Some Numbers To Ponder

[SuperSpck]

Baseball is the ultimate stat sport, but football is entirely too holistic in all phases to do much but find inferences, not facts.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

The sacks ranking is probably 90% fools gold. The large majority of the time we get sacks is when a) we bring the house with 6+ blitzing or b) the QB holds onto the ball way too long with a sack resulting from his stupidity, not because of our LB's pass rushing skills. Just look at how great our pass rush was when we brought 4 against the Titans (or just about anyone else for that matter), worthless. An inconsistent pass rush that requires 6 or 7 men to get pressure + an inconsistent secondary is the reason our pass defense is absolutely pitiful.

I was all about drafting an OT in 1st round, but unless somebody amazing drops we need to be looking at a rushing OLB. The great state of Texas probably holds the 3 best 3-4 rush OLB prospects in the draft.

The Fool's Gold has already given us more sacks than we had all of last season. That said... I'm certainly in favour of adding to the rush in the off-season.
