Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The Bills currently have 3 players on their roster who have had double digit sacks in multiple seasons. Mario Williams, Shawn Merriman, and Mark Anderson. Have they ever had that before in their history? What other teams in the league have 3 players with double digit sacks in multiple seasons?

Last Guy on the Bench Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 bruce,paup, and hansen in 95 The OP was asking about three players with multiple double digit sack seasons. 1995 was the only season Hansen had double digit sacks (he had 10).

Hplarrm Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The Bills currently have 3 players on their roster who have had double digit sacks in multiple seasons. Mario Williams, Shawn Merriman, and Mark Anderson. Have they ever had that before in their history? What other teams in the league have 3 players with double digit sacks in multiple seasons? I also am curious whether Anderson might have squeezed into Pro Bowl reserve recognition in one of his better years. If so, then I assume MW earmed his way in, Kyle Williams also injury replaced his way in season before last. While Pro Bowl recognition is in no way the be all and end all of judments on a player. Actually. it is pretty football silly to totally ignore this attainment as being named to the squad actually is a pretty clear affirmation of a player being perhaps not the best but well into the upper reaches of performers at his position. Particularly once they linked this recognition to the split up of decision making to players peer, fans, and opposing coaches, I at least feel good about Bills who get this recognition (actually as I think about it when they made SB teams ineligible this did get stupider). However, if the big IFs on Amderson getting this plaudit and Merrimen comes back to at least be a threat, the Bills D is going to be wild to watch this year. I see Mario clearly deserving a double-team on most plays. I Have seem Kyle Williams actually defeat triple teams to record a sack a couple of times. Anderson seems to merit a dt on obvious passing downs. Dareus had a fairly productive rookie year despite being on a D where the DC was so not up to it he got canned, If Merrimen comes back (and maybe even if he does not) the opposing OC almost always needs to go into max protect on every passing down holding in his TE out of the pattern to block and dedicating an RB to blitz pick-up )and thus also taking him out of the pattern. If this works out this allows the DBs and 2 LBs to play 6 on 3 to their advantage on pass coverage. Heck we might even see Byrd back in the Pro Bowl again as he plays centerfield on a passer under duress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 89 eagles did have 3 (reggie, clyde simmons, jerome brown) and the 91 eagles were close with jerome brown "only" having 9 sacks closest i can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny33 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well Didn't Anderson only have one year with double didget sacks ( last year.? ) Is it so difficult to use Google to see if Anderson had double "didget" sacks in another year? In 2006, his rookie year, Anderson had 12 sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If Kyle Williams returns to form and Merriman has any chance at returning to form this team could have a sick pass rush. The run defense should also improve with Williams and Dareus clogging up the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbosrrgood Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Mario Williams, Mark Anderson and Danny Batten 2012. Batten has to make an NFL roster, let alone get 1 sack, let alone 10+. Doubtful he makes the Bills IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimjack Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The 1981 New York Jets had their "New York Sack Exchange" defensive front. Sacks were not official as a statistic until 1982, but in 1981 the New York Jets led the league with 66 sacks, including: 1) Joe Klecko - 20.5 2) Mark Gastineau - 20 3) Abdul Salaam - 7 4) Marty Lyons - 6 I know this doesn't match the exact criteria of the original post, but it is still quite impressive. However, it's also difficult to guage exactly how accurate pre-1982 sack numbers are, given they were not an official statistic, so I guess you need to consider these numbers in that context. Still, I think most would agree that getting these numbers out of four defensive players would be something special. BTW, I think Gastineau also led the league in insanity for several years during this era as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll make it, we still don't have a lot of 43 ends and this year he can get back to what he did in college and that's hand in the dirt and QBs on their backs.

Ahh, Joe Klecko loved watching that guy and his crazy sideways stance. If I was a betting man you'd be losing some coin We have Mario, Anderson, Kelsey, Merriman and moats. Will moats play LB? He's a pass rusher, that's all that he is. He does NOTHING else well. Worthless as a LB in the 4-3. IMO, moats is a much better pass rusher than Batten. If we had to choose between the two (which is likely), I can't see how we would keep Batten. He better be in the weight room every hour and come to camp a changed man physically. The other 4 vets are MUCH better than Batten. Yes, Kelsey is too. Batten has done absolutely nothing on the football field, and you say he's going to get TEN sacks? Lol.
