Pernell McPhee wants to lead Ravens in sacks

During Pernell McPhee’s rookie season in 2011, he had six sacks to rank second on the Ravens behind Terrell Suggs.

The last two seasons haven’t seen McPhee build on that promising debut. He’s added just 3.5 sacks to his total, something that he has designs on changing this season.

“My individual goal is to hopefully lead the team in sacks,” McPhee said, via the team’s website. “That’s going to be hard to do when you have Elvis Dumervil and Courtney Upshaw and Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata on the field. It’s going to be hard, but that’s my personal expectation. I want to get at least seven or eight sacks this year.”

McPhee mentions Dumervil, Upshaw and Suggs and that group of players is likely to be the biggest stumbling block to realizing his goal. McPhee has always flashed pass rushing ability when given the opportunity, but they have come less often than he’ll need to post big numbers.

The good news for the Ravens is that their enviable depth at outside linebacker should keep quarterbacks under pressure for four quarters come the regular season regardless of which player winds up with the most sacks come Week 17.

My advice to the young lad. Get the sacks. Afterwards, we'll chat about the dinero

I think that is the point. He looks to be going in the mold of Jones, Paul Kruger, Elerbe, Scott, and so many more.

Let him go, we're fat daddy at OLB

[papasmurfbell]

I expect him to be mostly at DE.

Do the Ravens know how to get players or what?

 

Shame they can't keep them all.

 

Ed Hartwell where are you?

The system works well. Always moving guys through.

We have been LBer U, its just a shame none of the players that leave our system amount to anything in their new Uniform.

Why? Other teams burn their cap on guys who are not worth it. It only helps the Ravens.

Definitely, the more money the other teams give our players, the higher the Comp pick.

[papasmurfbell]

That too.
