6 sacks seems pretty reasonable between Ossai and Murphy... I wouldn't expect more than 8 tops.

Ossai had 3.5 last year. That should/has to improve. Murphy having less than 5 would also be underwhelming. Hubbard is not a sack artist, and still at 6.5 last year.

If those two “only” account for 8, we won’t see much improvement over 30 sacks again. It’s just the reality.

Murphy and Ossai should reduce the snaps by Hendrickson and Hubbard over 2022. So Hubbard and Hendrickson replicating 6.5 and 8, respectively, could be a stretch. Even “if” they get to 14.5, plus 8, we are at 22.5. The rest of the roster accounted for 12 sacks as a team last year. Is 34.5 enough improvement? I don’t think so. We would still have been a bottom 7 in team sacks.
