So i was curious to find out at which quarter we sacked the QB´s Week 1 Tampa Bay : 1st Quarter : Jason Ferguson sacks Luke McCown 2nd Quarter: None 3rd Quarter: Rodrique Wright sacks Chris Simms Randy Starks sacks Chris Simms 4th Quarter: None Week 2 Jacksonville 1st Quarter: None 2nd Quarter: Matt Roth sacks David Garrard 3rd Quarter: None 4th Quarter: None Week 3 Kansas City 1st Quarter: Vonnie Holiday sacks Brodie Croyle Joey Porter sacks Brodie Croyle 2nd Quarter: Channing Crowder sacks Brodie Croyle 3rd Quarter: None 4th Quarter: Philip Merling sacks Damon Huard Rob Ninkovich sacks Damon Huard Week 4 New Orleans 1st Quarter: Randy Starks sacks Mark Brunell 2nd Quarter: None 3rd Quarter: Charlie Anderson sacks Tyler Palko 4th Quarter: Rob Ninkovich sacks Tyler Palko Lionel Dotson sacks Tyler Palko Junior Glymph sacks Tyler Palko Of our 14 sack in Preseason 4 came in the 1st Quarter, 2 sacks came in the 2nd Quarter 1 against Jacksonville in Week 2 when Garrard was still playing and the other came in Week 3 when every team runs their dress rehearsal. 3 sacks came in the 3rd Quarter apparently against backups and 5 sacks came in the 4th quarter. Our Sack leaders were : Randy Starks 2 ( 1 in the 3rd Quarter Week1 and 1 in the 1st Quarter Week 4) Ninkovich 2 (Both in the 4th Quarter of Game 3 and Game 4) Wright 1 ( Week 1 3rd Quarter ) Ferguson 1 ( Week 1 1st Quarter, 1st Play of Tampa Bays Offense) Roth 1 ( Week 2 2nd Quarter ) Holiday 1 (Week 3 1st Quarter) Porter 1 ( Week 3 1st Quarter) Crowder 1 (Week 3 2nd Quarter) Merling 1 (Week 3 4th Quarter ) Anderson 1 (Week 4 2nd Quarter) Dotson 1 (Week 4 4th Quarter) Glymph 1 (Week 4 4th Quarter)
Interesting breakdown bro, I was smiling over our numbers yesterday but wondered what they "really" meant. Sooo .. only about six of the sacks came against first teamers right? the first and second quarters.. the others wouldn't mean as much. Anyway, thanks for the breakdown, I had wondered how it shook out and you answered my questions.
Yeah, doesn't inspire visions of the Purple People Eaters, but encouraging nonetheless, considering we've lost our two best defenders this offseason... The scheme will (or needs to), if it going to be successful, put pressure on the QB...may not be all sacks, but will make whoever it is uncomfortable back there...Those 6 were all by major contributors/starters... No matter what, it's going to be a fun year in Dolphinland this year, I can feel it...it may not be the glory days we've seen in the past [just yet], but it'll be fun...
