We are 3rd (in terms of least) in the NFL in opponent passing attempts per game, that is because we are 1st (in terms of most) in the NFL in rushing attempts against. We only have 29.2 passing attempts per game against us this season compared to last year where we were passed against the 7th most in the NFL at 36.5 passing attempts per game. Over the course of a season that is roughly 112 rush attempts not taking to account snaps played on passing downs versus rushing down.
Has there been a little regression? Maybe. Sacks are often viewed as a bit of luck so I'd be curious about his pressure stats, but I think as much of the issue is teams are just running over us.
I do think (and pray) there are some wider reasons for the reduced production from Geno/Carlos
we've been behind in all the games, we've faced a fair few mobile QB's which means they've needed to be disciplined and they've just missed sacks with QB's escaping the pocket. Also i think with the LB deficiency we've seen the DL drop back into coverage more than you would want to see?
Of course all of that sounds like excuses but I sure as hell would give geno/carlos the benefit of the doubt .vs. our coaching staff right now
