Sacks per million

Right.

This is not some instance where the ball is going quickly to poorly covered receivers by our LBers every play.

When a QB has time to make reads and watch receivers progress open on routes that's on the D-line.

Now if we're talking about LBer assistance to blitz or chip block then they can shoulder the blame there in those situations.

That is not always the case though.

D-line has to have accountability for lack of pressure.

I don't care if they accrued sacks, pressures, batted passes in a hotstreak or handful of games.

Being a consistent force through the season especially since most have been healthy is required.

It's a marathon not a sprint.

This excuse of opposing QBs throwing the ball in nanoseconds because of poor LBer play is deflection argument at best.
