[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 722693, member: 12283"] The Packers totaled 40 sacks last season. Good for 6th (tie). They broke down like this: -Nick Perry: 11 -Julius Peppers: 7.5 -Clay Matthews: 5 -Mike Daniels: 4 -Morgan Burnett: 3 -Kyler Fackrell: 2 -Dean Lowry: 2 -Datone Jones: 1 -Jay Elliott: 1 -Blake Martinez: 1 -Micah Hyde: 1 -Haha Clinton-Dix: .5 Obviously sacks are an imperfect measure of pressure, but they do give some indication. So the Packers have lost 9.5 sacks from this list in guys who have moved on. How to replace it? Well I don't think it would be fair to project the veteran guys to make up the difference. Perry had a good season and should have another one. But he's not going to be an 18 sack guy. 5-7 from CMIII would be right in line with what I'd expect from him at this point, and 4-5 is just about right for Daniels. No, the made up ground should come from the development of young players and the additions of new ones. Kyler Fackrell and Dean Lowry have some pass rush talent/ability and are entering their second seasons. Both contributed 2 sacks last year, and a few more would be normal as they continue to get playing time. Kenny Clark's playing time and quality increased as the season went along. He's never going to be a big time sack artist, but a handful wouldn't be surprising. RJF has also had 2-3 sacks every year going back to 2012. And then you have the additions of Adams and Biegel. Given their talent, I think a pretty safe floor is to expect that they replace Lowry and Fackrell's production as those two move up in playing time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Biegel has a nice rookie season. Just looking at personnel, and barring a huge rash of injuries to the pass rushers, I would expect them to be in the same neighborhood as they were in 2016. Now if the players on the back end stay healthier and play better, that pressure could be put to better effect. [/QUOTE]
