Biggest reason, according to the players, for their increased sack totals this year (although Reddick has been in double digits before) is the depth of the Dline allowing them to sub quite often. So even though they are taking less reps, those reps are more productive as they stay fresh. Also, Sweat is a young player just coming into his own. I expected this jump for him this year. Hargrave and Graham have likely benefitted most by the more frequent subbing.
