4 games left. 16.5 sacks.
We have the Bears, Eagles, Cardinals, and 9ers.
He could Donald his way to 4 sacks just between the cardinals and 9ers.
22+ sacks for a DT. Best season by a defensive player.

Six sack to tie Strahan's fake record (thanks Brett Favre). I was just about to start this thread and you beat me to it!

I think it's more than possible for AD to do it. If he wants the MVP nod, he will have to be VERY close to it after the next two games, as they vote for MVP before the season is over, don't they?

I don’t think AD plays every snap, especially against the Cards and niners. It’s a tough call whether to play a guy that important to the rams post season.

Itr's important to the legacy of the Rams...Deacon is the real sack leader as we all know, but having AD make the new record is kharmic justice for the Rams!

Important - but not nearly as important ....

Real legacies aren’t built on individual records. They are built on titles.

needs three more for most for a DT right ?

My understanding is that the NFL Season Sack Record by a DT is held by Keith Millard (Vikings) with 18. If that is true Aaron Donald should break that record pretty easy!

That's nice and all, but l've been a fan since '69, so the biggest part of being a long time fan for me are records JUST like this. This would be a part of Rams history that will last for a very long time, just as the Fearsome Foursome accomplishments are still revered, They didn't win anything but divisional titles, but it helped fans survive the years. Yes, Super Bowls are most important, but I don't diminish things like this because I survived with accomplishments like this.

We can have both.

Both would be nice. However, if you had to choose between the sack record and a title - it would be an easy choice.

Suppose AD is one sack away and it’s week 17 and our playoff seed is locked down. You keeping him out there and risking injury? I’m not sure I am. My eye is on the big prize - and I suspect his is as well.
 
AD has a shot. Wentz has been holding the ball so he could get a couple there. Is Trubisky back next week? If not he could get a couple there. If he gets 3-4 sacks next two weeks he has a good shot at 22.5 or more.

AD will play like Merlin Olsen, 15 years with missing nary a game. I would play him, because I have extreme confidence in his durability. AD doesn't get nicked, but the decision is Wades not mine.

No playing scared.

If the Saints win out, we have to ensure we win out, so unless the Saints lose again, there's no way AD sits unless we're up tons against the Cards and Niners and the Cards are playing solid football so I think that game is going to be tighter than most folks.

Of course Donald will break the record. He will probably shatter it. The Rams will have to play through the final game to secure home field against the Saints. With Talib back opposing qbs will be pinned down holding the ball more. Donald will get two sacks a game. Maybe more.
