First of all let me say that our O-line definitely needs to improve in pass blocking.
That being said on Burrows first 8 sacks he had at least 3 seconds to throw. Holding onto the ball too long in an attempt to make big plays sometimes pays off with big plays, but you can not deny that it also leads to more sacks. Roethlisberger and Russ Wilson are going into the Hall of Fame, and they both took a lot of sacks because they held onto the ball too long.
