So he's been about a step to a step and a half away from actually getting some sacks this season. That can be cleaned up.
In the meantime, he's obviously been getting quite a few pressures, and he's been pretty solid vs. the run so far. He even made a couple last night, as I recall. A really nice one where he was supposed to be rushing, but recognized that the ball went to the RB (not Henry), reversed himself and made the tackle for just a two or three yard gain.
He'll be fine.

People here forget that Justin Houson didn't get a sack until his 12th game of his rookie season, when he broke out for 3. He still only got 5.5 total in 2011.
Thing is, Houston didn't have the spotlight of being a 1st round pick, and the 2011 Chiefs sucked. They had a lot more things to complain about instead of lack of production from a 3rd round rookie pick.
