As far as 50 sacks goes, I don't see that happening, unless Latu just goes ballistic, and somebody from this group proves to be a better pass rusher than Kwity Paye.

Over the first 9 games, last year, when Buckner was healthy, they recorded 26 sacks. In the final 6 games, they notched 6.
If Buckner can reestablish himself as a threat inside Tackle, they have a couple of advantages over last season. First, with two pro bowl quality Corners, there’s a greater opportunity for coverage sacks. Second, Anarumo can begin to run some exotic blitz schemes, confident that the back end of the D won’t collapse.
Also, in obvious passing situations, when you bring in extra pass rushers, I have a lot more confidence in Key, Curry and Gumbs than i did in Paye, Lewis and Ebukam.
