He started off hot that year with eight sacks in six games, seven in the first two games. However, in the season prior he was very forgettable, likely due to injuries. He tore his Achilles a few weeks after and that was essentially the end of his career. He played a little in 2010 and was subsequently released. 

If he stayed healthy, I think he could have been a fine pick-up but he didn't and wasn't. 

8 in 5, technically: he was hurt for the season early in that Texans game (on an uncalled chop block at that) and was incredibly stout in the run game as well.

We all noted on the mothership how quite thin and scrawny he looked in 2010 after the injury, compared to how he looked in '09 and he was completely ineffective as a result, released and then retired soon after.

He doesn't get hurt and he had a run at the sack record.
