Numbers Adding Up For Bears’ Defense, But Not All Of Them
Published: October 7, 2009
Any way they slice it, 14 sacks after four games speaks well about changes they’ve made in the offseason in terms of personnel, coaching, and strategy. At this pace, the Bears would finish with 56 sacks, twice their total of last year and the most since 1987.
Of course, maintaining this rate won’t be easy, and coach Lovie Smith would trade it right now for a few more turnovers.
“I think we've played at a 3-1 pace,” Smith said Wednesday. “That's saying that we're not where we need to be, especially with takeaways. I’m disappointed with the takeaways but pleased at how hard they've played, how they've finished games.”
The Bears are tied for 14th with six takeaways. The other alarming stat from their viewpoint is the 40 percent conversion rate on third down by opponents, also 14th in the league.
None of these statistics in and of themselves are essential to winning a Super Bowl.
