Sacks are a messed up stat, pressure is what matters, and batted balls, run stuffing,etc.
15 sacks are just 15 plays out of the whole year, 1 a game.

Pressures per snap, positive plays per snap, "splash plays", plays where they did the right thing and as a result the play worked out (assuming it was the right play call).

It is much better against the pass, but I'm not sure about the run.


The Cowboys ran a 3-man front a lot last season... But it was the 3-3-5.

I would expect we'll continue to see more of that this season. It's a good front for guys like Irving and Crawford because they're more 3-man line DE's than they are 4-man line DE's.

I don't think I saw 3-3-5 once in the last giants game. I guess they do it depending on the team

Yes, they were good in the 3-3 or 3-2-6.
