Here is a point I have made many times about Hubbard, but this is a good time to revisit it.
In Sam's first two seasons he had 14.5 sacks in 1361 snaps played. And these were not all third down snaps or passing situation snaps.
If you project that rate over his 570 snaps this year you would get 6. So his 7 sacks this year are not really some big breakthrough for him. He has always been pretty good at getting after the QB. His numbers last year (2 sacks in 664 snaps) were an anomaly. Our DTs were invisible last year and our pass coverage weak. This made it really hard for the edge rushers to get many sacks. Lawson was an elite pass rusher and even he struggled to get sacks here last year.
