    He was talking about last year. We were pretty good last year.

    Last year we were inconsistent too. Couldnt generate pass rush on one of the weakest lines in Football.

    How much pressure did Jacksonville get on Mariota? By your definition, they are inconsistent and complete garbage.

    Nice try, but no.

    Not getting pressure against the Titans oline is excuseable. Not getting pressure by garbage lines like the Clots is inexcuseable.

    Isn't that the game when the QB was pressured on over half of his dropbacks and sacked 8 times? You make some seriously awful arguments.

    I wasnt talking about the 2017 Colts, I was clearly talking about the 2016 Colts, when supposely our “pass rush” was great.

    Per PFF, Orakpo is 5th out of all OLBs with 50 pressures. Leave it to a pessimistic fanbase to criticize guys like him and Casey just because the defense doesn't look like the '85 Bears each week.

    Just watching him and this pass rush, there are times where QB's have enough time to file their taxes and pick up the kids from school. He's rarely if ever winning 1v1 match ups, and the entire teams sacks and pressures are generally coming from the secondary locking guys down and not letting the QB get the ball out quickly.

    I don't know how many times I've seen us come on a blitz to see every one picked up and no one even get a hand on the QB. We had 0 sacks on Big Ben and 1 sack against Russell Wilson, both guys who are known to take sacks.

    We currently sit right in the middle of the league for total sacks on the season, and have played probably the worst group of offensive lines and QB's in the entire league.

    Pass rush is absolutely an issue and needs to be addressed in the offseason.

    Boring. If you watch the dline you can tell they cant win one on one battles. They look good at times but more often than not the oline has a field day with them. I dont care what the stats suggest.

    Again,I think people are creating their own narratives based on what they want to believe.

    5 of the teams we've played are top 15 as far as allowing the fewest number of sacks goes. 3 in the top 10. It's true that we have played some bad ones, and we have less success against good lines and QBs, but so does every other team in the league. Nobody goes against the Cowboys' O line each week. The fact is that most offensive lines had big weaknesses and most QBs suck at avoiding pressure.

    Pittsburgh has one of the best lines in the league, and Wilson is the most elusive QB alive. Those aren't good examples. Orakpo pressured him 12 times.
