Lack of sacks

[DCH]

I'm not worried about the lack of sacks so far this season, we've very successfully altered both offensive coordinators' gameplans against us by practically removing all mid- and long-range passes. Teams will likely continue to do this, focus on running the ball and very very quick short passes. A good pass-rush can do two things - one, build up sacks and create negative yardage; and two, remove tools from offenses' belts. We're doing the second. I'm not displeased.

a couple of questionable penalties have cost the rams sacks. i still see pressure, and that also changes a quarterbacks throws and reads. a few non calls on quinn as well. one poster thinks it may do dr quinn some good to embellish (since this isnt hockey) these holds and start getting the calls.

Well, you could see that in the Tampa game. If they even hinted at a 5 or 7 step drop, McCown had someone in his chest. Hard.

And you can see teams desperately trying to take away our DL with bubble screens, traps and all sorts of stuff.

The lack of sacks isn't concerning. I have no problem with it because we're still getting pressure. It's just sort of interesting to see how we haven't been able to convert those pressures into sacks this season thus far.

and some interceptions

D-line is definitely doing its' job getting to the QB. Teams are planning for it, the # of sacks will be down, but that doesn't mean they are any less effective. Teams plans will reduce sacks but result in shorter gains and inability to use some "weapons", Rams will benetit from it.

Opposing offenses so far are not attacking a big chunk of the field through the air. The mere threat of our pass rush has thus taken away a big chunk of opposing teams playbooks. If we can start stopping the run, they'll be screwed even worse.

But, we got an interception in the Red Zone yesterday. Was a big change for us, too. Unlike the leg whip fumble, our D earned it...

If we could just accompany QB pressure with stopping the run we will be in good shape. 30th in the league doesn't cut it.
