Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - impactplaya - 11-07-2022
As we stand through 9 games, the Bengals defense
Has only produced 14 sacks.
Hendrickson 4
Hubbard 3.5
Hill 2
Sample 1
Pratt 1
Tupou 1
Ossai 1
Bell .5
The Cowboys and Pats lead the league with 33 and 32
The Raiders are dead last with 9
The Bengals rank 27th overall
I personally think when you combine the quality of QBs
This defense will face in the 2nd half of the season
With the depleted secondary, it's imperative this
Defense starts to put QBs on the ground
We can't allow for guys like Allen , Mahomes, and Watson
On the horizon to sit back and surgically dissect this defense with no pass rush. I think the pass rush
Will be one of the key factors going foward if this
Team makes the playoffs or not.

Huge concern! We need a 3T that can cause havoc in the interior.

Before anyone asks, I'm not sure Ogunjobi would have been that much of a help.
He has 0.5 sacks through 7 games with the Steelers.
Yes, it's not the same team and it's a different scheme, but still. He hasn't been what he was last year.
RE: Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - Garrus - 11-07-2022
I think it is a bit of an issue, especially now with our secondary depth concerns. There will be large stretches of the game where the other teams QB just has all day to throw.
RE: Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - Sled21 - 11-07-2022
Not concerned at all. We have played mostly from behind and in tight scoring games, where the defense just can't just get after the passer because of the score. Anyone that watches can see Hendrickson, BJ and Sam are always applying pressure.

However Baker Mayfield came in the 2nd half yesterday and promptly went 11 of 15 and was sacked 0 times in a situation where Carolina
Had to obviously throw the ball.
Combine that with them starting a rookie LT.
Hendrickson should have looked like Myles Garrett
From quarters 2 to 4.
So if a scrub like Msyfield goes 11 for 15...what is Allen or Mahomes going to do?

Hendrickson had Walker dead to rights and he Joe Burrowed his was out of it on one play.

Yes, it is concerning.

Someone not even in the list mentioned in the OP is Zachary Carter...because he doesn't even have half a sack.
I thought this dude would be good for about 2-4 sacks this year.
Coming out of college, he was a bit of a tweener, but I thought he was a good pass rusher from the inside.
If he was (is) able to bulk up some, I thought he'd ideally be a good 3T down the road.
Disappointed with Carter so far.
Also Sample and Ossai.
RE: Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - Frank Booth - 11-07-2022
it's very concerning considering there's no Awuzie in the secondary. Or Dax Hill for that matter
RE: Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - bfine32 - 11-07-2022
I had hoped to see more from our 3rd rounder and Ossai is learning it's harder in the Regular Season.
Although we look bad when you look at Passing Yards allowed, we are Top 10 in Passing Yards per Attempt.
So I'm not "worried", but would like to see more

He wasn't back there throwing bombs. They gave him the underneath and he took it. And I don't know how many snaps Hendrickson even took in the second half.

Well maybe we can bring him home with a friendly deal

I've been waiting (and hoping) for Ossai to breakout. Still waiting

In those guys defense there not getting many snaps either .
Carter 41%
Sample 31%
Ossai 29%
Also Ossai has played more Nickle DT than Edge. Not sure why Lou wants him to play inside so much.
RE: Lack of pass rush concerning or not? - The D.O.Z. - 11-07-2022
It is absolutely a concern. This back half of the schedule features great QBs. Watched Brady with 40-something seconds left and NO timeouts, march right down the field and score the game winning TD. Mahomes and Allen can score from anywhere with like 20 seconds left as we saw in last year’s playoffs. We watched Flaker Mayfield come in cold yesterday and throw all over us. Yeah, it was garbage time from pretty much halftime but still..we knew they were throwing, had an opportunity to pin our ears back and go get him, but NOPE! With an injured secondary, the pass rush absolutely must step up. Hopefully Lou uses the bye to install some creative blitz packages using our LBs and safeties.

Not sure either.
I'd 100% be playing Hubbard there with Ossai on the edge.
