After three weeks this year with a bum leg and the bad overall team performance in Cleveland....5 sacks.

Great post, numbers say our OL has improved since 2022.
But, But, But......Volson sucks

Who have we played, Great DE in Garrett and Smith is a very good pass rusher, Ravens - great coverage team and thus they get great pressure and Rams with future HOF and best DT in football Donald

We have 5 sacks with a QB who can barely move and I don't think has any rushing attempts (take off to avoid pressure). Our issue is our great QB is trying to play through injury, everything is impacted including roll outs, shorter routes and Joe's accuracy due to his injury + lack of practice.

I am encouraged by the pass blocking of the OL, not so much the run blocking. But again, teams can put more guys in the box knowing Joe needs to get the ball out quickly. Joe is something like 1 for 8 on passes longer than 20 yards, thus teams we play can play in a way to stop the run game and the short passing game.
