A DL getting a sack in a 2 gap defense doesn't automatically mean they ****ed up. Plus, KC has ran a 1 gap defense in several if not most sub packages as well on passing downs (because 1 gap is better at rushing the QB) and he didn't do much then either because the coaches don't want him on the field. Likely for a good reason.
He's not a terrible player but he's totally replaceable. I don't care about sack totals as much as you probably do. Jackson does not pressure QB's and at least two of those sacks were 'bags'. He was unblocked because of a blitz. He didn't beat a linemen to get the sack. That's a scheme sack. If we pay him like the player he IS it shouldn't be a big deal. He and his agent likely will over value Jackson until he gets on the market and realizes he isn't quite worth what he thinks. Or maybe someone pays him a ton of money. Oh well. He's replaceable.
I really don't care about these stats so I won't comment.
If Jackson routinely pressured QBs and forced bad throws and early throws I'd agree that sack totals don't mean everything. When he rarely ever pressures QB's and half of his sacks are unblocked scheme sacks, then yeah... that's a problem. We have two DE's that cannot rush the QB at all. This was obvious all season long.

reading stuff like this is so much better than poops threads, old white people eating at buffets and slow walking black people

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
