I guess Micheal Johnson replacing Gilberry and Geathers had nothing to do with that. In 2013 after Atkins was injured we still had 18 sacks the remaining 7 games (which averaged out to be 2.5 sacks a game). We were averaging 2.7 sacks a game before Atkins went down. Now why didn't our sacks go way down when Atkins left in 2013? Looking at the stats it looks like it's more likely that the loss of Micheal Johnson hurt the amount of sacks we had (since we didn't have a replacement for our 2nd DE), because when we got Johnson back the sacks went back to normal, and when we first lost Atkins the sacks didn't go down that much at all.
