Jared Allen had 8 sacks in his rookie year, one that he only got on the field around the halfway point.
The next year he had 10 or 11, playing next to Sims and Dalton.
Hali came in the next year and Jareds sack total dropped to like 7, so no his totals didnt go up because he was across from the great Hali. 
A "Cornerstone" DEMANDS a double team to be slowed down and cannot be shut out of a game unless trippled. Hali can be single blocked most the game.
I like his progression so far, but lets not go full reerun. |
Actually, he had 9 his rookie year, 11 his second year. Game situations.
And, if you pay attention, I said it was due to having talent around him including Hali and Boone.
I wonder if guys actually watch the games...because there is a ton of revisionist history and the way they remember it, not the way it actually was.
Allen was always a good pass rusher.... but he wasn't a dominant rusher and wasn't a good all around DE until his fourth year.
