So let's look at the stat, 35% of the time the sack happens after 2.6 and hung on Joe, ok fair enough he's a baller always trying to make a play.

But he is at least scrambling per getting early pressure to avoid the sack for a few seconds conservatively 5% of the time making him responsible for about 30% of his sacks. Once again feel this is conservative and probably more like 20-25%.

Still too much yet that still means 70% of the sacks are on the O-line.

Still I wish Joe would learn when to throw the ball away when necessary because this frustrates the rushers who keep working to get to QB only to see the ball thrown away. On the other hand if they keep reaching QB and making hits, it just stokes their fire imo.

Joe needs to find a balance between wanting to strike gold and living to see another play. There is a time for both.

Don't forget about lack holes for Mixon, he was hit behind Line multiple  times, and not much room to run
