We need sacks!!

I will give it to Blatche. Who would think our D would be dominating and playing as great as it has thus far this season. But I am at the boiling point on one point of our offense. THE D-LINE sniffing the QB.

Before the season started I was ridiculed by posters and mods alike. But now hopefully they understand my concerns with the D-line. But first I have to give credit to the Defense. They ahve played awesome this year.

But their only weak spot is sacking the QB. We are currently ranked 27th in sacks.

NFL Stats: by Team Category (http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?season=2008&seasonType=REG&d-447263-o=2&conference=ALL&tabSeq=2&role=OPP&statisticCategory=SACKS&d-447263-p=1&d-447263-s=DEFENSIVE_SACKS&d-447263-n=1)

Saying that. If we get a better pass rush our defense will be that much better and come playoff time we need to show up and be able to totally shut down average QBs and neutralize good ones. JT has made some impressive defensive plays eventhoughhe has been hurt when he has been int he game he hasn't had sacks. its like him and carter always get pushed to the outside and the QB has a nice pocket to throw.

I just think if we start getting more pressure on the QBs some of these games wont be as close and it will minimalize big plays. Which we haven't given up a lot of so imagine.

But by all accounts this shows the strength of our DBs who are playing light out. Beside Torrence..lol

What is our record right now?

I could care less if we had zero sacks, we're sitting at 5-2 with potential to go 6-2. I'm happy.

funny how with the exception of the Redskins, the whole NFC East is in the top 5

I am happy too. I know what our record is. The point is making it deep in the play-offs. We have to be on top of our game and be able to stop QBs from making big plays. Even with our turnovers against the Rams costing us a game. If we had had more pressure on the QB on that last drive (and if Torrence wasn't in the game). We might have won.

How did the Giants win the Superbowl last year?

They went up against a team that seemed unstoppable but with their D-Line they dominated and made the most heralded QB suffer and thus the Patriots lost. So dont think I am not proud of our record. I am very proud of our record and our defense. But to be a elite D we have to atleast sniff the QB more. This has also been a reason for Giants continued success this season.

wow, happy to be in second place

For me, why not do something different? Sure, I'd love a zillion sacks, but we're the anti-Giants. We play great coverage and just force a lot of incompletions. I'd love a few more INTs and sacks, but teams just seem to have a hard trouble doing much of anything against us, particularly through the air.

I keep saying it. Defensive tackle is our biggest need. Most here would disagree with me- everyone seems to be content with Golston and Montgomery, but I think our entire defense could benefit heavily from a big, two-gap tackle who can collapse the pocket and get after the quarterback.
This would free up our ends to get sacks and create more opportunities for our linebackers and secondary to make plays. This unit is playing lights out right now no question, but it's scary to think how much better it could be with an elite dt. Oh, and another cover corner might not be bad too. :twocents:

We are 5&2 should be 6&1 but the O turned the ball over and allowed a score. Our D is not our worries right now and have won us several of our games. They might not get the preasue but they sur do knock down a bunch of passes which is just as good and soon should lead to some ints.

Oh, I think the D is putting on the pressure, just not getting sacks. Hurries and knock downs are very evident. Sure, I'd just as soon see the opposing QB assume the fetal position every once in a while, but I've taken notice that our D line is doing a pretty good job putting on the pressure.

I'm happy as a pig in a blanket being 5-2 with a pretty good chance of being 6-2. Don't fix what isn't broken.

I 100% agree with everything that you said. We should use our top pick in the draft on a DT or perhaps bag a fine free agent.
