    And this projects 37.3 for the season...

    Still expect it to be over 45... And still hoping to be wrong.

    And, that 1 sack was because Ben was holding on to the ball to long again, the Oline was top notch last night, 264 yards rushing through huge holes opened up by this line, pass protection was the best yet, munch is bringing this line along just fine...

    Close! They had 5 yesterday though. So unless I missed one in previous weeks, as of now, it stands at...

    Week 4 Sacks:
    5

    Season Total:
    11

    We're lucky we didn't lose Ben yesterday.

    Surprised to only see 2 sacks today, I guess their overall suckage just made it seem like more.

    Week 6 Sacks:
    2

    Season Total:
    17

    Where does that put us for projection, WWW? 45?

    45.33 Still up a bit, and still like my chances over 45.

    And this proves you were right about setting the over/under at 45. If someday I own a Casino, you'll be the head officer at making the over / under projections.

    Not surprising: Today's sacks were coverage sacks. Cleveland dropped 7 into coverage most of the time.

    Probably because of the amount of pressure and hurries the Browns forced. More yesterday versus the first five weeks.

    Listening to the radio one day, Ben said his sack numbers are misleading. He said he sometimes just goes down to take a sack rather than throwing a bad pass.

    in principal, there is some truth to this. But what made me wonder is why is he unable to understand he can throw the ball out of bounds if he is out of the pocket? Why take the hit and loose the yards?
