I personally think that pressuring someone like Manning is fruitless. You have to slip the mofo down or he will pick you apart.
I think sacks are often something that comes when the QB feels he has time. Which means he's not really being pressured. Because when a guy is being pressured, his clock in the back of his mind is going to tell him he's got get the ball out of there, he hears footsteps, he has happy feet. Practically speaking it's harder to sack a guy when he's in that kind of mindset, because the ball's out so much faster, but faster generally leads to more mistakes...
