For the life of me I have no idea how our D-line is so good at rushing the passer but our defense, as a whole, is terrible. It could be sort of a mirage—a byproduct of forcing teams to pass more than they normally would. By virtue of seeing more passing attempts than most teams we are inherently going to get more sacks.
I'd like to see which defense has seen the most pass attempts against them. I'd bet we are in the top 3.
Edit: I looked it up. We are 2nd (only behind Cleveland) with facing and average of 41 pass attempts per game. That's crazy. With Jones, Houston, and Ford, I'd be shocked if we
weren't right up there in sacks.
