Sacks

[theduke]

Since our 5-game, 1-sack start to the season, we have been on a tear with sacks! We're now tied for 7th in the league this year with 35.0 sacks. Jacksonville is 3rd with 39.0 sacks. Buffalo and Philly have 48.0 and 44.0, respectively. The Rams have really done some work in the last few weeks.

I think it comes down to the linebackers and safeties understanding the system and knowing their roles in the Williams defense. Once that fell into place, the D has been on a rampage. As much as I hate to say this, i can't wait for next year to see a full seasons worth.

1 game of double digit sacks and we could catch them by years end.Wouldn't that be something,and with the the D playing the way they are it would not surprise me if they did.

Whole new defense. Takes a while to get it down to the point that you're no longer thinking.
This is a prime example of that.
When you're busy thinking out there, you're slow. When you're just reacting, you're fast.

So we basically have 35 sacks in 8 games? Holy shit.

Just might break that sack record next year if we come out of the gate playing like this.

So does this mean that #SackCity isn't a sarcastic joke now?

Dude, that invading horde Williams was throwing at Washington the second half... [shivers]

...it seemed like a half second after the snap there were more Rams than Skins in the backfield. They were truly panicked.

 

[Blue and Gold]

So we basically have 35 sacks in 8 games? Holy crap.

A little like 1979. Had only 16 sacks the first 8 games and 36 in the final 8

I do wonder if Long is trolling the rest of the D with "See?! See how much you need me?!"
