    off the net from Eric77474

    Will the pass rush lead the Rams to a winning record? Pat Kirwin on Sirius has been talking about the correlation last year of sacks to success. The only team in the top 10 in sacks to *not* make playoffs was Detroit. The Rams were #11 and that was without Quinn at 100% and out for multiple games.

    Can they make a jump into the 50 sack range with the talent currently assembled and a 3rd year in Williams’ system?

    I don’t believe it’s any kind of stretch to think they can. Health will, of course, play a big role. But the pieces are there for a very, very successful pass rush.

    I hope getting that kind of pressure, very good special teams and a functional offense that doesn’t turn the ball over much (argument for Keenum right there) and they can finally break thru to a winning record.

    The Rams have done well in sacks all 4 yrs since Fisher has been here…and then, GW which is even more aggressive it feels like.
    I think having 3yrs in the SAME defense scheme is always a good thing and helps speed up the learning curve for rookie(pure speculation on my part) cuz every vet a rookie asks will have the same answer on the defensive responsibilities.

    All conjecture on my part, but that’s why I’m here! 😉
