Matthew Stafford didn’t completely disagree with Maxx Crosby’s sack count, crediting the Raiders’ Pro Bowl edge rusher for being a disruptor in multiple ways during Wednesday’s joint scrimmage between the Rams and Raiders.
“Any time he gets within five feet of me, he’s yelling ‘sack!’ in my face,” the Rams’ quarterback said. “I’m not just an absolute statue back there. I can move a little bit. I gotta watch the tape.”
Stafford has shown various times throughout his decorated career he’s capable of evading elite pass rushers to make downfield throws away from the pocket. But there’s no denying that Crosby would have gotten a sack or two if Wednesday’s somewhat friendly scrimmage had been a regular-season game.
