Quote:I'm a lot more concerned with the offensive line than the defense this year. I think our D will be around average from the start and get better over the year. The Oline is one Brandon Linder injury away from being a total mess. We can't even be sure about Linder, he missed what, 12 games last year and he's playing a new position this year?

Blake's been the most sacked qb in the league over the last 2 years, and honestly I don't see much improvement coming in that statistic unless Beachum is as advertised and everyone stays healthy.

 

 

I think a lot of this is on the defense as well.  If we aren't passing so many times and playing from behind, the opposing defense isn't going to be able to pin its ears back and rush the passer every time.  If our defense can just hold them a few times I think it will definitely affect our offensive line's sack total.  I think the sack total will be down, myself.
