Who Will Lead Oakland In Sacks?

Oh the sack...Is there anything more sweet to see? So perfect. Violent, eligant, graceful yet oh so depressing to others. Hmmm. I have a feeling some of you will see that sentence in a different way. Ha!

QB Sack-a sack occurs when the quarterback is tackled or run out of bounds on or behind the line of scrimmage before he can throw a forward pass. That's how the dictionary says it. But that's not usually what comes out of my mouth as I see it. Usually I say something like "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then I high-five everyone around me. Or maybe it's "Shit. The O-line looks pretty bad today". But it used to be "Fuckin', JaMarcus".

Oaklands' D-line is usually quite talented when it comes to getting the sack. Infact, they're one of the best at it. So now that our Run-D is fixed a lil', maybe our pass rush will get even better.

Here's the guys I'm predicting to take charge in the sack count.

Richard Seymour DE

Reason:

With his career and job on the line, he'll have one of his better statistical years.

Trevor Scott OLB/DE

Reason:

His sack count has gone up every year since entering the league. If it continues at the same pace, he should end up with 9 sacks this year. But he can do much better than that.

LaMarr Houston DE

Reason:

He's a badass.


Tommy Kelly DT

Yes, I'm expecting him to have a BIG year.

Reason:

Now that he has a new DL coach, and the right players around him, Tommy can finally excell.
