10 questions emerging from Baltimore Ravens loss to the Cleveland Browns
7. How many sacks will Odafe Oweh finish with this year?
Odafe Oweh has three sacks this year. That does not sound great until you remember that Oweh had zero sacks after six weeks due to an ankle injury in week two. Also, his career-high in a season is five, and he had just three all last season.
So, Oweh has three sacks, but it has come over four games. That is a strong rate. Oweh looked good in week one despite not recording a sack, and this could be the breakout year fans wanted. It is a small sample, but Oweh has a 17.1% pass rush win rate, which is up from 12.6% last season.
Last season, he should have had a few more sacks for how much he is winning, and he is winning more, so the sacks may just come in bunches now. With seven games left, how many does he get? Sitting two away from his career high, he will hit that mark despite missing more time than any other year. We had a bold prediction of ten sacks, and with seven games to go, it is not as bold to think he could get seven more this year.
