Yep I pretty much agree with all of this.
To be honest, the OLB situation is very close to what I think a lot of us expected so for me, I don't really use the word disappointing. I never had high expectations for that group this year.
My consistent position has been that we didn't have good OLBs last year either, it was a weakness then too, yet we were fine. 12th in points allowed. This year, the DL and secondary got much stronger with the same OLB weakness.
So far the result is good. I'm not experiencing much angst at all...that said, I'm fairly certain they address the position in the offseason. I'd be surprised to see them address it during the season but Snead and Co. are ever opportunistic so if a good trade presented itself, who knows.
Well...they were better last year.
Again, 21 sacks just from OLBs in 2017. That's appx. 1.3 a game. And that was without Suh. So far this year it's 0.33 a game. And that includes playing a couple of beat-up OLs.
They do have talent at DL and in the secondary so I don't know how much of an issue it will be.
But logic alone says it will be some kind of issue.
Sacks directly relate to scoring since stats show that a team that gets sacked on a drive has a significantly lower chance to convert 3rd down. That means a sack has a fairly high percentage chance of subtracting a series and therefore a scoring opportunity.
