But to have 60 sacks, you need to have opportunities to inflate the stats against bad offensive line with a QB that can hold the ball too long...The Steelers have often inflate their sacks number in the past against the Browns, but with Baker throwing more quickly, it'll be harder ... Maybe it's going to be against the Bengals, I do not know.
But if we look at two of the defenses that have had 60 sacks since 2000 ... 2 in this are the Ravens and the Chargers in 2006...The 2006 Ravens had 60 sacks, but 33 of his sacks were in 5 games against the Raiders, Steelers twice and the Browns twice!...The Chargers had 61 sacks and they were more consistent, but 14 of their sacks were in 2 games against the Raiders!
My point, you can have a great pass rush, but to have 60 sacks, you need to inflate the stats against very weak offensive line and you have more chances if one of his teams are in your division ... The only one Team that could happen in the AFC North this year are the Bengals .... The Ravens have a QB that I think hold the ball too long, but they would not have much opportunity, since it's going to be a run first team!
