Controlling the line of scrimmage controls the scoreboard & time of possession. That's why QBs gift Rolex watches to their O-line. Great D-lines turn QB play into sacks, Ints & incompletions.
Seems highly likely he will be a head coach someday (assuming that is something he wants). Seems to have a really bright future so hopefully Fleck can do whatever he needs to make sure that future unfolds with him as part of the football staff at the U of M.
Lol. The top team in the country last year averaged 3.77. 10th best was 3.00.
Nice work. I had to look it up because that seems like an insanely low number of sacks per game for the leading team nationally
I think we should all thank Jerry Kill for bringing him into the family.
Fear the beard!!!
If he’s going to be a head coach at 30 he needs to hit a home run. In reality, I would have never have guessed it was that low so let me change to 3-4 per game.
They just got two players who should up the pressure greatly.
Good grief.
Good grief we were 70th in the country and sacks per game last year. I went out to the same site that Word reviewed. Needs to be way better and if he’s a godlike DL coach we need production!!
They've added two potential studs. Sacks are not the gold standard for line play. Pressure creates many other opportunities.
Yep, he’s recruiting great. Sacks were low last year as was pressure. I’d have given our pass rush a c- last year; run d maybe a b- as it relates to the DL. Teams are too good no secondary can hold up without a pass rush much less one with a lot of questions like ours will be.
