1. Is Odafe Oweh about to break out for the Baltimore Ravens?

Odafe Oweh looked like an absolute stud as a rookie. However, in year two he fell back down a little bit, and fans wondered where the production went. We wrote that Oweh actually was still getting pressures, they were not resulting in sacks at the same rate, though. If he could keep winning at the same rate the sacks could start to come in bunches.

So far the Baltimore Ravens have seen Oweh record two sacks in the three games since his return from injury. He also had a handful of good reps against Laremy Tunsil in week one before his week two injury. When you put it altogether he is having a good year.

Oweh has a 17.4% pass rush win rate right now. That is up from 11.5% as a rookie and then 12.6% in year two. He is winning a lot more, and his pass rush production score went from 6.8 as a rookie to 6.2 last year and now it is at 10. It made sense to see that his PRP would go up regardless, but with his win rate skyrocketing as well it shot up significantly. If this continues for the rest of the year Oweh is going to turn this into a career-year, even with about five games lost due to injury.
