Predict the stats for our players on defense

Seymour: 7 sacks 40 tackles
Kelly: 8 sacks 43 tackles
Shaugnessy: 10 sacks 46 tackles
Houston: 8 sacks 51 tackles
Curry: 3 sacks 2 int 90 tackles
McClain 5 sacks 4 int 120 tackles(will finally show his potential)
Wheeler: 3 sacks 3 int 95 tackles
Bartell: 7 int 38 tackles
Spencer: 4 int 42 tackles
Branch: 5 int 5 sacks 90 tackles
Huff: 4 int 3 sacks 65 tackles

How many games will they win for us?
Lose for us?

[Cp3+Dmac=SB!]

Yes I'm predicting this team will be a sack machine just like they were 2 years ago

[Ratim]

Would be nice, but 52 sacks next year from our starting eleven in defense? That would beat the best from all teams last year.

I agree with Shaugnessy being the sack leader, he's due a big year, and I think Bryant wil have a good year also.

Either way we will be better than last year.

[Cp3+Dmac=SB!]

Wow totally forgot about Bryant 2 make that 100 sacks lol jk but yes Bryant will be good for us as well

[Naphtali]

we started out strong in the sack department last year 2, but as you pointed out Shaunashy was lost, and the Bresh had to become the real D coord, the regression was obvious

[Ratim]

Also did you know we only had 8 forced fumbles last year? That was the worst bar SD in the whole league.

We need those turnovers, (and CP not to throw too many), to stand any realistic chance this year, we were minus 4 last year.

[bleed4raiders]

We'll finish in the top half in defense (ranked 15 or better) and we'll be top 3 in sacks. I believe it will be mostly turn-overs that'll cost us games more than anything.

[red dragon]

Will be a top 20 d or better. Probably top 10 in sacks and top 15 in turnovers. will be a major improvement and will allow to have our long awaited winning season.

All I know for sure is that when we play in the next Super Bowl, after Seymour and Kelly both draw double teams, Albert Haynesworth is gonna cream his blocker 9 times and sack Jay Cutler 9 times and I'm going to laugh at everybody on this board after it happens.

[DmacMVP]

Number of ints are probably a little high. Nice optimism though

[Naphtali]

Hmph.......Well see......fundamentals would mean a lot

[cheapshotartist]

To early, we don't even know who will be starting or what type of defense we will play.

[B. anthracis]

They'll struggle at first to come together. If they can finish the season ranked 20th overall then a lot of progress will have been made.
