2017 Sack Leader

[DaColts85]

I just wanted to post this and see what everyone's thoughts were on who could lead this year in Sacks and what number they think it will be.  Take a look and let me know what you think??

Oh and I forgot but I think JJ Watt is going to get the sack title for 2017.  I am saying the number for him this year will be 20.5 sacks. Right behind him I will say Von Miller with 17.5 sacks. 

 

That line they have is going to be dangerous as well if Watt stays healthy.

Von Miller.

It wont be Derek Rivers. Remember how many people wanted him over Basham, Pats took him and he is done for the season - ACL Tear. I will say Von Miller.

Didn't the Pats want Basham over Rivers? I remember reading about it. They took Rivers because we took Basham.

Yeah that is actually correct, both were pretty even and we took Basham.

I"m going to say that Joey Bosa hits his stride and wins it or takes second place this year.  He missed 4 games at the beginning of last year with his hold out AND was injured early in training camp so his start was slow.  He finished with 10 1/2 sacks.  He could surprise, especially as the D around him is improving.

JJ Watt. He plays against our o-line twice a year (with our backup of our backup center), and against young QB's in Blake Bortles and Marcus Mariota. It's obvious to me. I don't see how he isn't, unless it's a devastating injury.

The Colts have defensed JJ Watt pretty good since he came into the league. I haven't looked up the numbers but he hasn't done all that well even before we drafted Kelly. That is one area where our defensive schemes have worked.

Mack

[Dark Superman]

Von Miller.

He's the best in the game.

I'll go with a Vikings player, DE Danielle Hunter. Hunter had 12.5 sacks in 2016 as a rotational player off the bench. He will be a starter this year. I expect him to be even better. He is only 22. The sky is the limit for him.

[IndyScribe]

Watt, Miller, or Mack.

JJ Watt is due for a monster season

Bosa is going to be so good. He is about the closest thing to another JJ Watt type of player.

watt until proven otherwise  when he's healthy he's unstoppable he's like Gronk lol

[AZColt11]

I'm going with Bosa and 16 sacks.

I Love watching JJ Watt play - he is just as pure a player as there is in the game.  He flat out loves the game and never quits.  I hope he's able to make it all the way back.

Eric Walden 23 sacs... wait, "whole wheat waffles... nohoho"

Never before has the term "high motor" fit a better player. He's the very definition of it, especially when his nose is busted open with blood pouring out, yet he doesn't even seem to notice and is pumping up teammates.

[Myles]

I'll go with Beasley.   

 

I wish I could say a Colts has a shot.

[BloodyChamp]

That bloody pic of Watt belongs in the HoF right beside the bloody pic of Tittle and the grimacing pic of Bendarik. There were rumblings of him not being the same when he came back. If he's back at 100% he'll be the guy. He's the best in the NFL period.

[GoPats]

 

I'd go with Miller or Watt, depending on health... 

 

One of these guys will end up with 20+ sacks in 2017.

Probably a safe bet, but if teams double these guys, it may limit them.    Still doesn't make them less effective in the big picture.   I'd love to have a player who demands double teams on the Colts.   Frees up the rest.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Tim Williams.

[NorthernBlue]

My honest bet would be either Bosa or Miller. 

[BlueShoe]

I am going to sneak a sleeper in here and project our very own #51 John Simon to lead all NFL players with 18 sacks this season.

 

This is a Colts forum and it's my time writing on this board so I can spend it how I want to.

Bosa is very intriguing.
