PFF: Seattle most productive pass rush in the NFL

[MontanaHawk05]

As always, I take PFF's conclusions with a grain of salt; their formulas and player grades sound like BS half the time and their constant self-advertisement comes off as slightly desperate. So I'll just take their stats and line them up for my own purposes. Definitely still ranks us as one of the top units!

Were gonna need the pass rush to be amazing on Monday.

 

[stack600]

Go Buffalo 40 sacks...The other Northern Siberia.

 

[enamel]

I wonder how Brees does with hits and hurries. We appear to specialize in getting there a split second too late.

 

[253hawk]

I'm not sure how much he was hurried last year against the Falcons, but he threw 5 INT's against them (4 of them short) despite being sacked only once. And that was in a dome.

 

[SalishHawkFan]

How bad was our oline? Look at how crappy St. Louis pass rush is and then figure in the day they had against us.

 

[keatonisballin]

Thats great to read. Also 51 hits. Seems like we are getting there a second too late but still thats pretty significant. Also glad to see NO at the bottom.

I never question PFF (when they compliment us). But looking at their rankings, I'm surprised they offer more value to hurries than sacks and hits. I see us #2 on that list (unless I'm missing something).

 

[MrCarey]

Being hurried is super helpful for a ball-hawk defense. I'd take an interception over a sack any day.

They don't. They weigh sacks more than hurries or hits.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Hurries are generally more valuable because they can lead to interceptions.

How bad was our oline? Look at how crappy St. Louis pass rush is and then figure in the day they had against us.

The thing about that perception is that they and the Saints get home on a higher percentage than we do. It's like we have a bunch of Darryl Tapps right now.
