    Forgot to get this rolling this year.

    Last season Ben was sacked 33 times and came in well under the 45 used in the poll. So this year, going to drop it to 35, make it a bit more challenging. See if he comes under that again.

    Week 1 Sacks:
    2

    Season Total:
    20

    Projection:
    32

    I went 35 or over. Not much over, but I don't think he stays on his feet quite as much this year. :unsure:

    I went over. We play a lot of teams with great D-lines in the AFC West and NFC west plus our own ratbirds and brownies.

    what was this set at last year? I tried to find it but couldn't.

    I went higher not because Pouncey is out
    but
    basically for the same reason turtlefart stated

    It was 16 if I'm not mistaken. Could you imagine? Flacco was only sacked 19 times. That's just not right.

    I wish someone would hit him hard enough to knock his eyebrow off.

    i go under. too many dump off weapons...bell heath. i think between haley getting the guys to buy in, ben understanding his role, munch taking control of the o line and the offensive weapons- they can do it.

    I was missing this thread!
    While I believe it will be an over (some 3+ sack games will boost this stat) I am also seeing an improvement with Coach Munchak. Hopefully they prove us wrong about this stat.

    every year illegal hits or uncalled penalties outnumbered his sack counts

    Did you see where Hochuli supposedly told Cam Newton that he was "too young" to get roughing and personal foul calls? I can't stand that metro looking old codger anyway but I guess he must think Ben is young or something???

    Yeah Ed came out and said he didn't say it apparently. With all these NFL Films cameras around how do they manage to miss crap like this???

    The films crew said even bad lip reading couldn't have come up with that. Not saying it didn't happen, but I don't believe it did.
