Sacks Given Up by Left Tackles (Branden Albert)

This is super interesting, and looks like it will be updated weekly.

Sacks Given Up By LTs (Updated Weekly!) - WalterFootball.com Forums

Albert gave up 2 of Baltimore's 3 sacks in the first game alone, tying him for worst in the league. It makes me realize that I think we should still pursue a true franchise left tackle (and right tackle of course), and eventually move Albert inside to his college position where he can be one of the best in the league. Hopefully in the meantime at least, Albert starts playing better.

I think its a little early to be saying they need to move him. It was one game. But your right if Albert does not start to improve he does need to move back to his college postion. Hopefuly it does not come to that an albert can have a good season.

Goes to figure our front line stinks lol

yeah, maybe we should get a couple pro bowlers like Flozell Adams or Jason Peters... you know, Pro Bowlers who you can build a team around. :sign0098:


... Personally, I'd rather have a LT in his 2nd year who DIDN'T give up more than 10 sacks last season... but hey, maybe I just see potential in a guy who only gave up 4 sacks in his rookie year.

*********************

As you look at these stats, the big thing that stood out to me was the Adrian Jones/Mike Goff comparison. Obviously we all know McIntosh and Niswanger weren't very good last year, but I didn't realize Adrian Jones did THAT well last year.

Then, when you look at McIntosh and Runyan, it might give you some insight as to why the Chiefs didn't sign Runyan while he was here.

I think the sacks for our team last season are misleading since much of the season we were in a revamped offense built around Thigpen being able to make plays without necessarily having to spend a lot of time making reads. We were also in shotgun almost every play.

I could be wrong, but I think Albert gave up most of those sacks when we were still in a standard offense.

Interesting stats though. It does make me wonder why Adrian Jones was released.

The shotgun is being implemented a lot more all around the league, so to say Thigpen was primarily in shotgun, thus sacked less is misleading as well.

We should be taking a look at Tauscher and Langston Walker.

Anyone check out how many sacks Tait gave up? I can't believe he actually gave up 6 sacks.

Probably why he retired. I mean the dude WAS 34 last year. Not exactly a spring chicken

Albert gave up 2 of Baltimore's 3 sacks in the first game alone, tying him for worst in the league. It makes me realize that I think we should still pursue a true franchise left tackle (and right tackle of course), and eventually move Albert inside to his college position where he can be one of the best in the league. Hopefully in the meantime at least, Albert starts playing better.

This week against Richard Seymour will be an awfully good indicator of Albert's ability in the pro set with a pocket QB as opposed to the spread with a scrambler.

Perhaps, but the Raiders might line Seymour up all over the place like they did against SD. They'd be smart to pick on Ndukwe at RT. Then again, they're not very smart.

So using your theory, highlighted above, Jake Long who was a true Left Tackle, should be moved. Since Long gave up 3 sacks last week........

Who cares, he is still learning and will become great.

He dropped what? 50 pounds? He's learning to play more with technique and quickness instead of bulk and pure force. I think the evaluation process is going to be a long one for Albert. I just hope he moves well against some of the more athletic competition he'll see this year.

Albert could very well struggle early on, but a simple sack statistic doesn't tell the whole story. He has his work cut out for him, but I don't think he's one of the linemen we need to worry about, for now at least.

Good points Tyler, but Alpert has lost about 15 pounds of baby fat. He was listed at 314 last year and playing at 301 this year.
Now for the real reason Alpert struggled. He was playing against one of the top DE's in the league and Suggs also lined up on that side alot. What OT wouldn't struggle'

Now Suggs is on the Ravens injury report with a concussion. Think it wasn't physical inside. I am telling you this team beat up the Ravens and no one new is on our injury report this week. Haley has this team conditioned and ready to play.

I think the Chiefs could conceivably use 3 of their first 4 picks in next years draft on the OL. We are short on talented starters and have no depth.

They could do that might be better to get some free agents if there are any Great o liners out there with next year being an uncapped year as of now they can realy go to work in the free agent market.

If next year is uncapped and teams go hog wild and spend beyond the existing cap what happens in 2011 when they need to get back under the cap?
IMO it would go against Pioli's principles to spend huge dollars in the free agent market.

Maybe we should move Edwards to the other side at center.
