I believe some of the reason for the limited amount of sacks is one, we are not playing with a lead or a big enough lead to just let the line go after the QB. I think we focus on stopping the run first, which we have done really well so far this season. Two, we have been very good in coverage with out our best corner on the field. This forces us to play a lot of cover 2, drop the safeties and give help over carlos or smoot. This only gives us one extra rusher, usually marcus and sometimes horton. You have to be able to stop the run to win playoff games. that is what is going to get us deeper in the playoffs, not sacking the QB. I would bet that when we are playing with a bigger lead and teams are forces to be one diminsion, we will see more sacks. I would just relax on all that and enjoy the fact our D has played very stong against the better offensive teams in the NFL>
