| Many question the Chicago Bears’ 2017 draft, but there is every indication they will take a huge step forward. The reason Neville Hewitt Womens Jersey why the Bears improve may very well be an improved assault on opposing quarterbacks. Last year the Bears were tied for 12th in Ryan Tannehill Womens Jersey the NFL with 37 sacks. Considering the egregious amount of injuries incurred, it’s an incredible number. There were 19 players on injured reserve in 2016. Many of those players were key contributors on defense. If health improves even slightly, there will be substantially more sacks in 2017. Extrapolation is not an Jon Ryan Youth Jersey exact science, but it could be an indicator of how well the team will get after opposing QBs in 2017. The three major sack artists on the team last year were Willie Young (7.5), Akiem Hicks (7), and Leonard Floyd (7). Fourth and fifth on the team were guys who missed http://www.teamdolphinsproshop.com/shop-by-players-neville-hewitt-jersey-c-1_46.html significant playing time, Pernell McPhee (4) and Eddie Goldman (2.5). Simply extrapolating the http://www.teamdolphinsprostore.com/shop-by-players-ryan-tannehill-jersey-c-1_47.html sacks per game over the course of the games missed, the Bears get nearly 10 more sacks out of their top five. Even hedging the bet and calling it eight extra sacks puts the Bears into third place in the NFL. Furthermore, just http://www.teamseahawksprostore.com/buy-cheap-k-j-wright-50-jersey.html because players were in games doesn’t mean they were completely healthy. The top five sack artists on the Chicago Bears were listed as questionable or worse a staggering 34 times. Young, for instance, lived on the injury report with knee issues for most of the first half of the season. When the players most likely to hit opposing QBs are hindered for nearly half the season, some stats are sure to plummet. Out of the front seven players, only Lamarr Houston was out for essentially the entire 2016 season. He tore his knee after only two games. The previous year, however, Houston accounted for eight sacks for the Bears. In fact, he led the team in sacks, and along with Pernell McPhee, looked downright dominating at times. |
