It is amazing what happens when you have an offense that is explosive and can give you leads, and all you have to do is rush the passer.
Yet, even with all his studliness, he had fewer sacks in 2006 than 'average' Tamba Hali. Hmmm.
He had his first pro bowl in his fourth year. Up until 2006, he was considered a liability against the run, and a one dimensional player. In 2006 he finally started to put together all of his repsonsibilities and fewer sacks than Hali.
In 2007, he finally broke out. His fourth year, also the year that they added a good DT playing next to him.
But, don't let the facts get in the way of your hero worship.
