Drops and missed tackles, among other negative stats, aren\u2019t part of a box score or stats pages on NFL.com. The league prefers not to formalize those kinds of numbers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Joe assumes it\u2019s part of an agreement with the NFL players union, or it\u2019s an effort to spin everything to help fans lean positive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, within a recent Buccaneers season video preview on the NFL YouTube channel, sacks-allowed numbers were shared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">They\u2019re in the NFL screenshot below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-18-195313.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-402457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-18-195313.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"177\"   \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Zero sacks by Luke Goedeke in 11 games looks amazing! But it doesn\u2019t mean he was a perfect pass blocker. For example, sometimes a Goedeke fail leads to a sack made by a guy being blocked by Graham Barton or Tristan Wirfs. The opposite can be true and sometimes a sack is\/was simply Baker Mayfield holding the ball too damn long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Perhaps that\u2019s another reason these kinds of stats rarely are highlighted. They can be deceiving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Backup guard Dan Feeney earned the nickname \u201cDangerous Dan\u201d from Joe for a reason. Too often his work got Mayfield hit. Michael Jordan? There\u2019s a reason he has no job at 28 years old in a league starved for offensive line depth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Those guys combined to start 19 games! Did they only lead to a combined eight sacks, per the graphic. Joe will take the over on that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The health of the Buccaners offensive line very much will determine the success of the 2026 season, Joe believes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And some of that is just about resources. The Bucs have four premium draft picks on that O-line. No team wins when four premium picks have down years like those linemen did last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL Sacks-Allowed Data Can Be Deceiving July 18th, 2026 .
