I thought that was a bit overzealous as well. They are on pace for 806 runs this year. However, Phillips tends to use emotion with his predictions while Clayton is more level headed. Clayton is right A LOT. While he didn't guarentee a 50 sack season, he did say we could be close. To me, 45 is close, and 48 would be amazing!

Not going to happen. I'd be happy with a 5 sack improvement on the 33 figure from last year.

I do not think a 5 sack improvement would be something I'd be happy with. We need more than that. We have complained about our pass rush for a while, and while 33 was an improvement last year, it was not what we were looking for. Let us not forget that Taylor outsacked Carter last year. With those two together, they should create A LOT of disruption.
