With Ware and Hatcher gone, and Spencer and Melton coming off significant injuries, it seems pretty clear we have a lot of questions with regards to pass rush.
First, how many team sacks can we expect?
Who steps up and leads the team in taking the quarterback down?
Do we even have a ten sack guy on the roster?
I doubt Selvie replicates his 2013 performance. I doubt Lawrence gets more than the 5-7 range in his first year. And I put the over/under on Spencer sacks at 2.5.
I just don't see a pass rush from this defense. I say team total around 38-40 with around 5 of those coming from the cornerbacks on blitzes. Scandrick is effective from the slot.
