N/S Will Aaron Donald break single season sack record? (2 Viewers)

[bclemms]

Strahan holds the record with 22.5 sacks.

Donald is sitting at 16.5 sacks with 4 games remaining.

Donald did not have a sack the first 3 games of the season after holding out during camp so all 16.5 sacks have come in the last 9 games which means he has been averaging 1.8 sacks per game over that stretch. He needs 6.5 sacks to break the record which is exactly what he has in his last 3 games.

If he breaks the record does he become a threat to win the MVP?

Aaron Donald has played every game this season. Regardless, the guy will most likely break the record. All he needs is one decent game. He’s a monster.

I don't know. But if drew does not get it I hope donald does. He is playing amazing football. I've seen rbs play like gurley before and I've seen qbs like mahomes. I've never seen a dt dominate like donald (or a qb like brees) this year.

Especially if we start counting playoff results like ESPN does for Brady now.

 

[El Caliente]

And to think, he is doing all that damage from the DT position. That is unheard of. He is playing in the guts of the oline, and just getting those sacks.

 

[NMS]

Considering who he's playing against I say yes.

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

His opponents will likely be passing plenty so it’s very possible

Right but he had 0 sacks in the first 3 games. Since then he's had 16.5.

nah

 

[woohoosaint]

He got zero sacks against us...

 

[Quiet Storm]

I don't care. He didn't get to Brees. That show's how good our OL is.

I totally misread that as he held out the first few games...my bad! Nonetheless the dude is insane. I hope he breaks the record.

When Donald has a bad game the Rams still win, When Drew has a bad game the Saints lose only giving up 13 points on D. Who is more valuable?

I don't think he breaks it unless the Saints are pushing the Rams for 1st seed. Otherwise he may be rested the last gane.

 

[Lustmord]

i hope so, so strahans sham record falls

 

[Consigliere]

It would be great if he breaks the record. Strahan got it only with the "Favre Flop" so it would be nice for this record to go to someone more worthy.
