2009: 3/0
Week 2
2008: 5/2
2009: 2/2
Week 3
2008: 2/3
2009: 3/0
2008 total sacked 11, intercepted 6
2009 total sacked 8, intercepted 2
These numbers show better discipline from the offense in 2009 and it was against better defenses.

This isn't quite as effective as the penalty statistics because last year we didn't even have a QB playing the position. I'd sure hope the INT numbers would be down with our new "franchise" player.
And we've only played 2.5 games thus far this season, so that affects the numbers, too.
