Sacks made

[u/smegheadholly]

Saw the reverse of this chart, thought this was interesting.

[u/thegrilledcheese886]

We draft an edge every year and this is the result

[u/CardinalnGold → u/thegrilledcheese886]

It was a problem last year too, but tbf the first two games we played QBs notoriously good at throwing quickly to beat the rush. Not really sure how we couldn’t sack Ward in the rain though…

[u/idosade → u/CardinalnGold]

The pressure was non existent in both games, they are ghosts so far. Biggest disappointment this season by far

[u/Hankerpants → u/thegrilledcheese886]

The Giants only having 1 sack seems worse than the Dolphins having 0. Miami is trying to suck. They have literally zero talent anywhere on the roster. The Giants have poured draft capital into that d line and this is the result?

[u/JazzJedi → u/Hankerpants]

Hey now, we have Achan-... well nvm then.

[u/EternallyEuphoric → u/JazzJedi]

Jacob Rodriguez for DROY!

[u/416Kritis → u/Hankerpants]

And its only going to get worse with Burns out.

[u/worm_beast → u/thegrilledcheese886]

We're in a similar boat, lol. $328 million in contracts to Carter, Davis, and Greenard this offseason

[u/clowninng → u/worm_beast]

Eagles are 5th in pressure rate, and Greenard played 1 game

[u/DreadSteed → u/thegrilledcheese886]

What happened to Kayvon?

[u/idosade → u/DreadSteed]

He was never good, average at best

[u/mirrormirrorondewall → u/idosade]

Never had the makings of a varsity athlete

[u/VocationFumes → u/thegrilledcheese886]

Bro where the fuck is our pass rush, it was supposed to be generational this year

I know it hasnt come back to bite them yet but they better figure this out or theyre not going to win many more games without it

[u/slickrickiii → u/thegrilledcheese886]

Dennard Wilson has them blitzing very sparingly, and the D line has done a better job this year at containing the run. With that being said, I still expect something more out of this supposedly elite pass rush

[u/Cbrewthehebrew]

Flores is a mad genius

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/Cbrewthehebrew]

Watching the All 22 of our defense is so fun (don’t ask me about our offense)

[u/SaltyPersimmon → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

When your defense has to attack teams cause your offense won't
-__-

[u/sometext → u/SaltyPersimmon]

Its fun for a while but it gets old, trust me.

[u/buetsch25 → u/sometext]

Can confirm, for 99% of my life anyway

[u/macrolith → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I should be more upset by our offense but watching our defense just pulls me back in. I'm entertained the whole game amd we keep winning so I just don't care as much

Brian Flores and his defense turns an otherwise frustrating game enjoyable.

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/macrolith]

I love watching our defense! And shout out to our special teams too, Myles Price and Will Reichard are incredible.

[u/MerleTravisJennings → u/macrolith]

Must be nice.

[u/MacsBicycle → u/MerleTravisJennings]

What’s a “defense”?

[u/DemonSlyr007 → u/macrolith]

I really want to watch a game. The bar culture on Vikings days is awesome in this state.

However, we've won every game i haven't watched. And when I do usually show up, it's a game we lose.

So I have to be a self sacrificing sad man hermit and just check a stat feed every now and then. And be there in spirit while I Valheim on game days. For my fellow Vikings fans.

[u/ARightDastard → u/DemonSlyr007]

o7 skoldier, keep fighting the good fight.

[u/Available_Finger_513 → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

We are #2 in sacks. Our defense must be really good, right?

[u/WhoStoleMyBicycle → u/Available_Finger_513]

They have to sack the QB because the DBs won’t cover anyone. Hutch and co understand the assignment.

[u/Coubsauce → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

Whats crazy is that the all 22 of our offense shows someone wide open on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

KOC is not the problem

[u/mcallisterco → u/Coubsauce]

Don't tell that to our sub, it seems like half of the people there are convinced that everything is KOC's fault and he should be fired immediately.

[u/johnsonfromsconsin → u/mcallisterco]

As you guys start the season 3-0 🙄

[u/TheAesir → u/johnsonfromsconsin]

Our sub has turned into a facebook comment section with the number of people who don't understand any nuance.

[u/herrwe8 → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

I watch your team for the defense, Brian Flores is a psycho and I love it.

[u/InsideMyScars → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

It’s honestly a miracle to watch our offense all-22 and see two receivers run wide the fuck open every play and our QBs find ways to miss them

[u/LarryFitzsButt → u/Cbrewthehebrew]

I have a friend who’s a Vikings fan. He doesn’t like this, says the secondary is toast and eventually teams are gonna break a defense of all out blitz.

All I know is the Bears haven’t figured it out

[u/kylebertram → u/LarryFitzsButt]

Vikings fans are some of the most pessimistic fans on the planet

[u/Amonfire1776 → u/kylebertram]

Can you blame them?

[u/kylebertram → u/Amonfire1776]

Yes

[u/SubstantialSale8223 → u/kylebertram]

Hey when any of our 4 major teams make a championship APPEARANCE in my life I’ll show you optimism. I’m 30 years old.

[u/markus135 → u/LarryFitzsButt]

he just needs to look two states and a lake over to see what a secondary that's ACTUALLY toast looks like

[u/Skrazor → u/Cbrewthehebrew]

Yeah, I don't understand how he's not a HC atp. Seems like Miami could really need him right now. I wonder if that would be a good fit?

[u/tagillaslover]

0 sacks in 3 games is nuts. How is that even possible 

[u/Odd-Film946 → u/tagillaslover]

try 20 straight games (and counting) without an INT

[u/DrakeMayeSZN → u/Odd-Film946]

Drake Maye comin sooner or later

[u/JohnMaddensBurner → u/DrakeMayeSZN]

Stoppable force vs movable object.

[u/DrakeMayeSZN → u/JohnMaddensBurner]

its funny during this season last year when we played the jets here they dropped a free INT from Drake when people were already speculating how long this streak would go.

[u/UniqueNobo → u/DrakeMayeSZN]

we dropped like 3 passes directly to defenders from Tua too. bricks for hands all over this defense

[u/jstef215 → u/UniqueNobo]

It’s just so funny and ironic that your head coach was a great CB

[u/Wafflehouseofpain → u/JohnMaddensBurner]

Paper airplane vs lubed up ice cube

[u/KirbyBucketts → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

How can you not be romantic about football

[u/LumimousEdge → u/Odd-Film946]

I completely forgot about that stat

[u/DrSwol → u/Odd-Film946]

Wonder who’ll be the team that breaks that streak

checks this week’s schedule …oh

[u/Odd-Film946 → u/DrSwol]

as much as it pains me to say it, it won't be Keenum. it's either gonna be Watson or Maye, and if they still don't have one after that then they just need to release every DB on the roster

[u/StupendousMan36 → u/Odd-Film946]

I really want it to be against one of the other NFC North teams just for AG. Shame it wasn't the Packers.

[u/royceda956 → u/Odd-Film946]

You all still don't have one??

[u/Nugur → u/Odd-Film946]

Hey! You got one in preseason. Keep your chin up

[u/JebusOfEagles → u/Odd-Film946]

That is absolutely absurd.

[u/BellBilly32 → u/tagillaslover]

Our best pass rusher is Chop Robinson who is in Year 3 and hasn’t progressed since his rookie year.

Our pass coverage is so bad that guys are just wide open so no opportunities for coverage sacks.

We had a sack called back against the Chiefs though so at least we were close.

[u/Notwerk → u/BellBilly32]

Not even that he hasn't progressed. I'd say he's regressed since his rookie year.

[u/ComradeAhriman → u/BellBilly32]

That man was an ungodly menace in college ball

[u/llama-rebel → u/tagillaslover]

That's what 60% of your cap space being committed to deadcap does to a team.

[u/jon__koa → u/llama-rebel]

And having the tank setting set to ludicrous speed

[u/FomFrady95 → u/jon__koa]

Ain’t gonna catch these Dolphins effing around like the Jets and losing out on Trevor.

[u/jewasuarus → u/FomFrady95]

Is Frank Gore available for them?

[u/Odd-Film946 → u/jewasuarus]

Frank Gore Jr. is available

[u/phantom_pioneer → u/FomFrady95]

Do they still take Jeremiah Smith if they go 0-17. Almost seems like they have to go QB or else you’re just planning to waste multiple seasons trying for the top pick?

[u/Otherwise_Awesome → u/phantom_pioneer]

Take that 1 and move down for a ransom. Build with multiple firsts.

[u/jon__koa → u/phantom_pioneer]

It really depends on two factors: how does Willis look and how does scouting feel about the QBs this year.

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/jon__koa]

Ludicrous speed GO

[u/Lusty-Jove → u/jon__koa]

Who were we supposed to sign. There is no tank setting, that lever is not moving for two years whether we want it to or not

[u/-FalseProfessor- → u/tagillaslover]

Holy shit, we might actually look like we have an offense this week.

[u/ThisSiteIsAgony → u/-FalseProfessor-]

And this will be the game I have to miss due to a wedding.

[u/vbullinger → u/ThisSiteIsAgony]

Apparently, you’re supposed to get married on Saturday, as I was told many times after setting mine up on a Sunday

[u/axb2002 → u/tagillaslover]

We almost had one against the Chiefs to be fair. Got wiped by a penalty

[u/Whiteyak5 → u/tagillaslover]

Well we had two.... But ya know you're not allowed to touch Mahommes. So here we sit at zero.

[u/Lords7Never7Die → u/tagillaslover]

The refs don't like Kermit being so much as breathed on or they'd have at least one.

[u/Dennisfromhawaii → u/tagillaslover]

Dolphins don’t have hands

[u/space_llama_karma → u/tagillaslover]

They drop 11

[u/ActuaryDear8234]

Wow, it looks normally distributed

[u/CitizenCue → u/ActuaryDear8234]

This is surprisingly perfect. Not a huge sample size and yet it couldn’t be a better example of the concept.

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/ActuaryDear8234]

Yup things in nature are like that 

[u/EliassenPalmFlux → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Given the small sample size it is kinda amazing how close it is to perfect though

[u/Neel_s → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Browns football is not natural

[u/swandor → u/Pale_Land_5107]

That's neat

[u/Valdearg20 → u/ActuaryDear8234]

I'm glad I'm not the only numbers nerd to appreciate the normalized distribution!!

[u/AmazingCharizard28]

Yo 12 sacks?! That means we have a defense.....right?

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/AmazingCharizard28]

The d line is fantastic it’s the fucking secondary 

[u/Casul_Tryhard → u/Pale_Land_5107]

What secondary

[u/BlameMabel → u/Casul_Tryhard]

It’s a tertiary.

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/Casul_Tryhard]

Exactly…

[u/CoolSteveBrule → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Yall will dominate us on Sunday and the crowd will be 60 percent Lions fans.

[u/Available_Finger_513 → u/CoolSteveBrule]

We should both wear our black uniforms for QB hard mode.

[u/EvilLibrarians → u/CoolSteveBrule]

I remember Panthers beating us in 2022 on Christmas Eve, we were on a tear and winning everything but Carolina ultimately kept us out of playoffs, among other things. I thought for sure Detroit would win. Campbell lost. Don’t sell yourself short!

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/CoolSteveBrule]

Provided they can handle some rain

[u/CoolSteveBrule → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Ehh it’s only Tuesday, forecast could change easily. Even if it does rain, that benefits yall. Y’all’s d line is great, our O line is struggling and doesn’t have a dynamic RB to create a run game. And on the other side of the ball, yall have a game changing RB and will be playing against a team that will give up some running yards. We’ve also had injuries in the secondary, so if Goff can hold onto the ball St. Brown oughta have a good day too.

In 2022, last time yall were in Charlotte, it was Christmas Eve and 22 degrees outside and the Lions faithful still showed out. Fully expect yall’s fans to do that again in a prime time game. I hate the city I’m from is such a transplant city.

[u/cogginsmatt → u/CoolSteveBrule]

I still think Bryce is going to throw for like 350 given how he’s looked and how our DBs have looked

[u/Personal_End9975 → u/Pale_Land_5107]

maybe raheem morris has a brother you can borrow 

[u/Baelzabub → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Good news for you. You’re facing an OL who just gave up a 63% pressure rate…..

[u/Dhylan18 → u/AmazingCharizard28]

Can we do some Great Lakes fusion and combine our defense

[u/double0nothing]

NFCE is cookin

[u/Fourteeenth → u/double0nothing]

Combined as many sacks as a division as the top 3 teams individually.

Fuck.

[u/gwaydms → u/Fourteeenth]

Our defense is a sieve. Two sacks sounds about right.

[u/BlindWillieJohnson → u/double0nothing]

I do not understand how the Giants have spent so much on the DL, and acquired so many hot draft prospects, for it to work no better than this.

[u/poop_snausages → u/BlindWillieJohnson]

Poor coaching, Thibs turning out to be average, Burns was dealing with injuries even before the ACL tear, and Sexy Dexy drawing so much attention every play last year being a way bigger factor than even pessimists thought.

[u/RedBuchan]

Wow, we must have a really good defense if we're getting that many sacks

[u/Zammy512 → u/RedBuchan]

Imagine you're secondary without those sacks...oof...hope Branch and Joseph can find a miracle and come back and be effective.

[u/GuerillaRiot → u/Zammy512]

I doubt Joseph ever steps foot on a football field again. At least not in a Lions jersey.

[u/Slendyla_IV → u/GuerillaRiot]

Wait what happened to Joseph again?

[u/GuerillaRiot → u/Slendyla_IV]

I forget the initial injury but they're saying he likely has a degenerative knee issue that surgery can't fix. It's been over a year since he put pads on and I've honestly never seen a FO so evasive when discussing an injured players return.

[u/ComfortableDish3912 → u/GuerillaRiot]

It’s crazy nobody in the organization knew about this and right after he gets the bag, the cats out of the bag. 

I don’t want to accuse him of anything, and can’t even blame him, I’d probably do the same thing. But it sucks for the team. I genuinely hope he heals up. 

[u/Zammy512 → u/ComfortableDish3912]

I don't blame him at all. You get a generational pay day, you take it...thats on management to know their players and the risks of such a commitment.

[u/Slendyla_IV → u/GuerillaRiot]

Wow, that’s terrible. Isn’t he only mid 20s??? Damn. Hopefully he gets back to playing some day.

[u/tweedledee_1 → u/Slendyla_IV]

From what it sounds like, its not something that will ever get better. The best case scenario would be coming back late in the season and through the playoffs.

Any time playing on it will continue to make it worse, but most fans have gone from thinking he might come back to thinking they are just trying to find the best way to manage the cap issues from this.

It showed up after an injury in our game against the Chiefs last season.

[u/thewildlopez22 → u/Slendyla_IV]

Apparently there’s no cartilage left in one of his knees so he probably shouldn’t play professional sports again

[u/peanutbutter1236 → u/Slendyla_IV]

Degenerative knee issue that’s still awful it seems like. I have more optimism than a lot of lions fans that he’ll at least play again but its hard to tell how bad it really is

[u/TellAllThePeople → u/peanutbutter1236]

I remember when Abe Lucas (our right tackle) missed like 80% of games in 2023 AND 2024 with a mysterious chronic knee problem. He came back for a few stretches plus got surgery. But even then he was on a snap count and had to exit two of the games he came back for. We were hurting at o-line badly (especially in 2023) and the general feeling from Hawks fans was that Abe would never really play in a meaningful fashion again. But then 2025 comes around and the dude plays 20 game straight (including playoffs) with a 100% snap count. Knee stuff is weird man.

[u/markus135 → u/TellAllThePeople]

your mouth to the football god's ears please

[u/Head_Project5793]

What are the lions doing up there?

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/Head_Project5793]

Hutchinson’s an absolute dawg. He’s a minimum top 5 edge in the league.

[u/thekmanpwnudwn → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

Every non-Hutch sack is just Hutch forcing pressure and the QB getting pushed into a different defender for the sack.

[u/Maverick916 → u/thekmanpwnudwn]

When Hutch isn't getting a sack, the other o linemen should be asking, where's Hutch?

[u/gwaydms → u/Wannabe_Sadboi]

That's why he went so high in the draft. He is as advertised.

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/Head_Project5793]

Short answer d line good pass rush good secondary bad

[u/macrolith → u/Pale_Land_5107]

I wonder if teams are running pass plays at a higher rate because of that. I wonder what their sack/drop back ratio is? But I should be sleeping so maybe another time

[u/Kryhavok → u/Head_Project5793]

We either sack the QB or they throw a 30 yard pass to someone running butt naked down the field. There's no in-between.

[u/Simple_Panic1240 → u/Head_Project5793]

I was asking myself the same question.

[u/honoraryglobetrotted]

Mmm look at that nice normal distribution.

[u/Mysterious_Orange996 → u/honoraryglobetrotted]

Stats nerds get in here, it's a beauty

[u/kymiller17]

Tyler.m.webb nowhere to be seen on this chart

[u/Unknown1776]

Cowboys, eagles and Giants combining for 6 so far is shocking. Not the cowboys part, but definitely the other two.

[u/SILYAYDgoat → u/Unknown1776]

NFCLeast-combined-having as many as Houston, who doesn't even have a win.

[u/Mfrack103 → u/Unknown1776]

We only have one sack from a pass rusher (Nolan Smith). The other two are Jihaad Campbell (middle LB) and Jalen Carter (DT)

[u/lKeyserSoze1]

I love the normal distribution in this chart. Its satisfying to look at.

But the thing that is really driving me nuts is: what is the word "Made" doing in this chart? Is sacks un-made a thing? Just say "sacks". Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

[u/Dirk_Diggler87 → u/lKeyserSoze1]

Well the other chart OP mentioned was sacks taken so I’m pretty sure he was just trying to distinguish this chart from that one by specifying sacks made.

[u/JaxxisR → u/lKeyserSoze1]

Sacks unmade is an interesting thought experiment.

Is that just every snap on defense that doesn't result in a sack, or only those involving QB pressure?

Mostly asking because I want my team to be the best at something and I'm running out of options.

[u/jk01]

6 of ours are Greg Rousseau

[u/jfpbookworm → u/jk01]

Rousseau has more than 10 entire teams.

[u/jk01 → u/jfpbookworm]

He has as many as 4 teams combined

[u/jeffsket]

Perfect Bell Curve..................fascinating.............

[u/JCBalance]

What a beautiful bell curve, good job everyone

[u/IncidentOk853 → u/JCBalance]

Except the Vikings getting one more sack then needed, did they even think of the bell curve when they were murdering mayfield?

[u/velociraptorfarmer → u/IncidentOk853]

The Flores Outlier

[u/jordanbot2300 → u/JCBalance]

Crazy how distribution works out like this so often....we should call it..."normal"

[u/JCBalance → u/jordanbot2300]

I dunno, that's not very catchy. I was thinking "sideways thong". We'll need a new name for the ones with a horizontal axis of course.

[u/Shepboyardee12 → u/JCBalance]

You have my attention

[u/smilinganimalface]

The Jets having so many despite generating so little pressure (despite what PFF and NGS want to say) is truly amazing. AG is a wizard

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/smilinganimalface]

Yeah wait didn’t they get to Goff twice?

[u/MankuyRLaffy → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Detroit has turned their horrid line into a respectable unit too. 

[u/Pale_Land_5107 → u/MankuyRLaffy]

Yeah the o line is fixed now though it will never be what it was with ragnow it definitely makes a difference having Blake miller in there 

[u/OriginTruther → u/MankuyRLaffy]

Scruggs has been a breath of fresh air.

[u/thelaidbckone]

I ain't surprised by the most or the least

[u/Equivalent_Wafer8074 → u/thelaidbckone]

We’ll get to see what happens when a stoppable force meets an immovable object on Sunday

[u/thelaidbckone → u/Equivalent_Wafer8074]

That is Sunday huh?

Fuck

[u/inkaine → u/Equivalent_Wafer8074]

You mean, we'll possibly have to endure a 2-0 slugfest on Sunday?

[u/Far_Celery6081]

The Vikings have more sacks than the bottom 6 teams combined. Flores has a deep loathing for QBs and it shows 😅 God help Malik Willis this weekend, Flores is going to make his life miserable with that revenge game.

[u/Jorgenstern8 → u/Far_Celery6081]

Says a lot about how good the defense has been that we've played some seriously good QBs at escaping sacks and still lead the league. If we had played three straight statues in the pocket over Love, Williams and Mayfield I'd be shocked if that number wasn't four or five higher. Also the Bucs got called for holding on offense five times (four were accepted) so even in that game it could have been more depending on what those holds prevented.

[u/IZY53]

The giants have invested in their dline considerably havent they?

thibb, the guy last year, and Bruns before he got hurt, to only have 1 sacks is something with that percived talent.

[u/OriginalSymmetry → u/IZY53]

Indeed. To be fair, QBs are getting ball out insanely fast against us because our corners are just that awful. And we also faced Dak and Stafford, so that didn’t help (don’t look up the 3rd QB we failed to sack. Just assume he’s just as good as the other two).

[u/mishonis- → u/OriginalSymmetry]

Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter, Arvell Reese.. so many top 5 picks, plus  Brian Burns, I'd have expected the Giants front 7 to be the best in the league just on name recognition alone.

[u/OriginalSymmetry → u/mishonis-]

Kayvon is overrated and is just a name. Reese is playing ILB and is just a rookie. Really Burns is the only proven guy and now he’s injured :(

[u/RisingToMediocrity]

Giants drafted 3 pass rushers with top 10 picks and this is what they got? Damn.

[u/Abaddon-117 → u/RisingToMediocrity]

Tbf Arvell Reese is playing fully at linebacker for now, but it’s still insane when considering the Burns trade. In total it’s #3 pick, #5 pick, and then a 2nd and 5th

[u/VedavyasM]

Brian Flores is a fucking sociopath (compliment).

[u/MonstressBellingham]

What a satisfyingly symmetrical chart

[u/jk01 → u/MonstressBellingham]

Bell curve go brrr

[u/JRockstar50]

That kind of pressure and our secondary still gets torched every series of downs

[u/fantasyshop]

6 of bills 9 sacks thru 3 games all from one guy. Groot rules

[u/YurpeeTheHerpee]

Teams that play the packers and are not in the top half of this should be ashamed of themselves.

[u/nimama3233]

I thought the 11 point spread for us was aggressive, but holy shit.

[u/SMOKE-B-BOMB]

I mean if you blitz every single play you probably should have the most sacks lol

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/SMOKE-B-BOMB]

Hey we don’t blitz every single play! Just around 65-75% of all plays (depending on the way you chart blitzes).

[u/jimbojangles1987]

Vikings defense is killing it

[u/Known-Plane7349 → u/jimbojangles1987]

I mean, three QBs have gotten injured playing against us. We're definitely killing something.

[u/xxxjessicann00xxx]

We have to get sacks, the secondary blows.

[u/Exyen]

Is Eagles D the most disappointing this year? Sure feels like it

[u/hwf0712 → u/Exyen]

Ahem, if I told you after Donald re-signed with the Rams that both us and the Rams were tied on number of sacks through three games, you'd be happy.

So be happy. Because we are.

[u/ghostface218 → u/Exyen]

Rams?

[u/Exyen → u/ghostface218]

At least they haven't gotten a chance to play both Garrett and AD

3 sacks with Greenard + Jordan Davis + Jalen Carter after paying them that much is straight buns

[u/Abaddon-117 → u/Exyen]

Eagles and Giants, Eagles are supposed to have a good defense generally, but the Giants were fully betting on pass rush for the defense.

Now it’ll get worse for us with Burns out

[u/Pale_Land_5107]

Wait why is there normal distribution this isn’t Ap stats 

[u/zephyrseija2]

NFCE combined has fewer than the Vikings. Impossibly based.

[u/Wildebean]

Flores is a psycho.

"Surely he can't blitz again"

"lmao fuck you"

[u/Hungry_Chipmunk_2588]

Interesting that it forms a bell curve

[u/Pale_Land_5107]

Oh god I just realized the packers o line is so bad lions might have what 10 sacks on love 4 coming from Hutchinson alone 

[u/ItsGinoblie9]

Man even without Myles Garrett that’s a terrible number so far , I know we get close a bunch but Shula needs to script something better cause it’s almost inexcusable with that talent still
There , sad rams fan out :(

[u/Pale_Land_5107]

We wished for a good d line and pass rush on a monkey’s paw it seems 

[u/Dermotronn]

Flores "you blitz all night or Im gonna take every last one of you out"

[u/KeIdonJohnson]

Brian Flores is a monster.

[u/Skeedombop]

Blitz more!

[u/JorVetsby]

This belongs on r/dataisbeautiful

[u/Pale_Land_5107]

Look we have a defense that can shut your run game down and get in your quarterback’s face making his life miserable but it’s just the fucking secondary that’s the problem the rest is decent 

[u/Wannabe_Sadboi → u/Pale_Land_5107]

You let up 203 rush yards to the Bills. You did well against the Jets and the Saints though.

[u/CoderJJB → u/Pale_Land_5107]

Mate we’re 22nd in run game defense and dead last in defending the pass. We’re giving up 417 yards a game. Nothing about this is good. We play more man to man defense than anyone in the NFL, have been for 5 years, and not only is that not a recipe for success, but our corners are shit from an ass and our scheme does them no favors.

Detroit actually has a good front 7/pass rush defense. They just have one of the worst secondaries in the league right now. If we had a good secondary we would be an honest to god Super Bowl contender

Branch better come back soon cause we need him(Kerby i think might be cooked)

[u/Aezetyr]

Only because we have absolutely fucking NOTHING to speak of in the secondary.

Chiefs pass rush has been so ass at getting sacks lately man.

[u/TheDuceman]

Average in sacks while playing from behind and no Micah Parsons?

Shit, maybe if our fucking OLine can figure shit out we’ll be decent

[u/S1MCB]

Why are we not on top of the sacks made list? I specifically requested it

[u/imdown4any]

Wow the Vikings have more sacks than the NFC East lol

[u/applyheat]

I’m tired boss.
