I know we've all been a bit disappointed so far with the amount of sacks our D has been able to obtain so far this season, but looking back at Rex's history with the Ravens and the Jets, I was surprised to see how infrequently his defenses ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in sacks. Rex has certainly coached some awesome defenses, but sacks haven't been his teams' strong points:
With Ravens:
2005: 8th in sacks / 10th in points/game
2006: 2nd in sacks / 1st in points/game
2007: 19th in sacks / 22 in points/game
2008: 11th in sacks / 3rd in points/game
With Jets:
2009: 18th in sacks / 1st in points/game
2010: 8th in sacks / 6th in points/game
2011: 17th in sacks / 20th in points/game
2012: 25th in sacks / 12th in points/game
2013: 13th in sacks / 19th in points/game
2014: 6th in sacks / 24th in points/game
So in the last 10 years his defenses have ranked in the top 10 for sacks in the NFL only 4 times and top 5 in the NFL only once and he's had some pretty damn good players over the years on defense - HOF type players like Lewis, Reed, Revis, etc.
Just something to consider and keep track of as the season continues to play out. I have no doubt this defense is going to be a top 7ish defense in points/game allowed when the season is over but lets not be surprised if we don't end up in the top 10 in sacks.
