I'm kind of curious why the teams or the league don't go back and watch the film of older games to get good sack stats on earlier generations. I doubt that comprehensive films are available prior to the early 70s or maybe the mid 60s at best, but even at that it'd still add a lot of good players to the records. It's too bad that we don't have stats for guys like Deacon Jones and Bob Lilly and Bubba Smith and Buck Buchanan and Bobby Bell and other players who should be in these discussions.
