After the Chicago Bears - Arizona Cardinals preseason football game today I found this quote from Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune:
"He was intercepted twice, sacked four times and had a passer rating of 31. That's nine sacks now in essentially a full game of action over the last two weeks."
While math may not be my strong suit, right now the combination of Jay Cutler and Mike Martz are on pace to shatter the NFL sacks allowed record. At 9 a game that gives us a total of 144 sacks allowed.
Also of note in the same report by Biggs he noted how the Bears defense was not up to par in the following statement:
"The defense was again shredded on third down by hardly all-star caliber quarterbacks."
To Biggs' point Matt Leinart did dominate the Bears with his best performance of the preseason going 9 of 10 for 84 yards and a 135 rating, while just edging out the second best QB on the field Dan LeFevour who was 10 of 12 for for 100 yards and a 129.2 rating.
Suck on that women who are currently doing my laundry!
Derek Anderson fan says...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go out on a limb and take the 'under' on that 144 sack projection.
And the Derek Anderson starts vs Detroit Lions wins is looking pretty good for me now. Or are you taking the 'over' on the Lions w/ 15 wins.
