The way you laid that out, it sure seems doable. Many might say no way Ebukam racks up 10 sacks, but with the dline occupying bodies and the dbs reeking havoc in the backfield, I could see Ebukam having lanes to the QB quite often.Lets see:

Other than Barron (because he is used on the blitz quite a bit, and he is a linebacker) I don’t really have safeties getting a lot of sacks. (TOTAL of five by “others” including noted safeties, corners, and down the roster backups)I gave your post a ha ha because that's a lot of sacks for the safeties and others that aren't known pass rushers. I do think sacks will come from everyone at all directions because of the coverage and Wade. I don't think that many though.
Sacks aren't the end all for the Rams defense. Pressure and coverage will force mistakes. I'll take a sack, sack fumble, INT, throw away pass, pass break up, dropped pass, defense pass knocked down and knocked out. Just get the ball back for the Rams offense.
I think the rams think they have what they need at lb. Otherwise why would they trade Quinn and tree? They could not have known they would get Suh. So while lb is certainly on the list for next year's draft, I think they think the will easily replace the sacks that left and seriously improve the run defence.I think we'll see how our lbs play out this year but I'm sure they are on top of the list for next year's draft.
I think they made trades to shuffle the salary cap. They are comfortable with the guys we have now but we have to see how the season plays out. Littleton is undersized and new to mlb, our olbs are first time starters as well, and Barron gets injured. LB is our weakest link so that's what I expect them to look at in the draft if we have an average lb season, outside of oline depth of course. Rookies are cheap too so you can draft someone that actually fits the scheme without impacting the cap for a few years.I think the rams think they have what they need at lb.

So you are saying we have the record locked up!These are the total sacks by team from 2017. Philly's vaunted defense only got 38 for the season. Rams were 4th. Steelers were about one sack per game off the season record pace.
I would love to see it but I just don’t think we have the LB crew to make it happen. Someone may very well surprise us tho.
If they had Quinn in his prime coming off the edge, they would have shot. I just don't see that player on this team.
Plus while teams throw more nowadays, games were longer with more plays per game years ago since the clock stopped on every dead ball. So I think it is tougher nowadays for records like this. Offenses also get the ball out quicker than they did 30 years ago... tougher to get sacks.
