Will smith.

Ellis.

All the new beef next to him will dramatically affect his production. I see it like Glover getting Normand Hand to free him up.

 

[REBEL_SOUL]

It was a tough decision factoring Smith
maybe missing some games, Ellis being rotational,
Jordan getting up to speed, and Jr. Galette being
un-proven at this point.

I went with Cam Jordan as a guess. I think he'll get some hustle and 'stay with it' sacks,
Also, crediting from Ellis shooting the gap up the middle thanks to Rogers/Franklin, subsequently flushing the QB to
his side at times. (Jordan)

Smith, William

Smith is gonna have a monster season.

15 votes so far, 60% Will Smith.

Hm, ok but missing 4 games it will be tough to catch the others
and get up to playing speed where everyone else is 4 games ahead.
Granted your fresh, but -- that is 25% of the season missed.

If he doesn't serve the 4 games, my choice would be Will Smith.

Stupid suspension looming makes this a really tough question to answer. With no suspension, Will Smith. With suspension, I have no clue. Ellis is a good bet with the girth lined up next to him.

 

[saintsfan84]

I voted Smith, provided he plays the first 4 games of the year.

Ellis.

All the new beef next to him will dramatically affect his production. I see it like Glover getting Normand Hand to free him up.

Couldn't agree with ya more. He lead in sacks last year and I feel if health and continues to progress he's Pro Bowl bound.

 

[saints2k8]

Smith even if he misses games

 

[4saintspirit]

I think that with Ellis being paired with Rogers and Franklin it will open him up to having huge numbers -- they will drive the double teams and Ellis will be free to charge

 

[insidejob]

Smith even if he misses games

I certainly hope so. He looks poised to kill it this year if that San Fran game is an indication and everything we're hearing out of camp about the lighter version of Will Smith sounds super promising.

I'm actually going to look at this question a bit differently.

Who's going to be credited with the most sacks or Who's going to get the most sacks?

I think Rodgers will be credited with creating the most sacks, but I think Will Smith will get the most sacks.

Credited as in: given statistical credit for.
(Simply, what shows up in the stat book as a SACK)
