    We only had 2 sacks vs Vikings but Keemun was yippy and looking to get rid of the ball. We also missed 2 sacks. Dude was running for his life. Our front 7 is elite, tuitt and watt bring it to another dimension.

    the D-line is making alot of this possible with good pressure and collapsing the pocket. alualu has been a good pickup for us. :cool:

    Yes, Alualu has generally played very well for a depth player, and that has been a difference this season.

    Tuitt looks to be back this week, so that can only help. With Watt out, I hope we get to see some Deebo. He might be a bit fired up after basically having the first 2 weeks off. No knock on Chick, he's played well, and I'm sure he'll see the majority of the defensive snaps.

    Yup I agree, deebo is still better than chick. In terms of talent it’s

    Watt
    Bud
    Deebo
    Chick
    Moats

    IMO


    Although in deebos prime, none of our linebackers touch him. Jury is out on watt hehe

    I think if Bradford was in there we would have had more sacks. Keenums mobility saved him a few times.

    We have had pass rushing talent for years , The ability to cover is what makes that work. We are stil a bit shy in that regards , but we are worlds better than we used to be as such you see the results.Better late than never I suppose....

    Elite Pass Rushers make you corners look better because they dont have to cover as long, and elite corners make pass rushers look better because coverage sacks.
    We need one or the other and right now it looks as though the pass rushers are going to have to be the ones to step up.

    The word Elite gets tossed around easily here.
