Believe it or not, Ossai is 3rd on the team in sacks with 3.5.
Hendrickson - 8.0 Hubbard - 6.5 Ossai - 3.5 Hill - 3.0 Wilson - 2.5 Sample - 2.0 Tupou - 2.0 Pratt - 1.0 Bell - 1.0 Carter - 0.5
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

I would say defense will be high on their board in the first because the top of the class is defensive heavy. Oh, agreed but the curious thing is that where can we improve on O? WR depth, OL, RB maybe. I still don't think we use a TE enough to justify that over D at this point. But D has depth at most positions or players drafted to backfill (Hill, CTB, ADG, Ossai). I think where we draft first will be telling on whose the next to leave because we can't afford everyone.

Yep, Ossai made the play right when it needed to be made... Really liking seeing him come along, I bet he continues and has a very good Postseason as well.

Need to add another sack artist as Nicomo said, a little mind blowing this Defense has so few sacks with such talent.

Love the way Ossai and Carter are coming along at just the right time.
Yet still see a big need to add another pass rusher in off season. The water tastes funny when you're far from your home, yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

I think our DL as a whole is better than last years and they got a bunch more Sacks. Pressures show big time when I watch this DL though which is great.

But playing well vs a backup is still a positive step for Carter. He's been poor to awful vs virtually everybody. At least for the first 3/4ths of the year.

I think our DL as a whole is better than last The pass rush looks to me to designed discipline. Stay in your lanes, keep the QB in pocket without stepping up or rolling out of danger. Akin the the mush rush the Bengals employed against Rothlisberger and Jackson and Mahomes, the kind of QB's that excel at improvising and would hurt you more outside the pocket than within. So it accomplishes the primary goal, get pressure and make the QB uncomfortable every time he drops back and is more effective than an occasional big sack, but cancelled with big plays on scrambles.
