FWIW, I looked back and found 4 nstances of Bengals 5eams averaging 3 or more sacks a game for an entire year.
1. 2012. 51 Sacks. Geno 12.5. Michael Johnson 11.5. Gilberry 6.5. Dunlap 6.0.
2. 1973. 43 sacks (14 games). Mike Reid 13.0. Ron Carpenter 10.0. Sherman White 7.5.
3. 1976. 43 sacks (14 games). Coy Bacon 21.5. Gary Burley 9.5. Carpenter 7.5.
4. 2001. 48 sacks. Reinard Wilson 9.0. Justin Smith 8.5. Brian Simmons 6.5. Takeo Spikes 6.0. Tony Williams 5.0.
I could have missed one.
We have 19 thru 7 games now. I firmly believe if Ossai were healthy, we'd easily be in 3 sacks per game territory. Heck, perhaps if Kareem were healthy.
I still think we could get there anyway, with Kareem getting close & the offense clicking. If we can get some leads and teams are in obvious passing downs more, we can tee off. Need 5 next week to get to 24 thru 8 vs NYJ.
