Fewer passes but a lot more sacks.

The passing game was completely different when Reggie came into the league.  Most throws were down the field so QBs sat in the pocket longer and were sacked more often.  In Reggie's 1985 rookie season the average sacks per team was 46.6.  In Watt's rookie season (2011) it was only 37.1.

The Chicago Bears famous "46 defense" from 1985 would not work in todays NFL.  It would get picked to pieces with short passes.
