It could happen. After watching experts (and I'm not pretending to be one) breaking down his film from the HOF game, he might have had a couple of sacks if he only kept his balance. Taco played with "okay" technique but has to learn how to finish plays.
That will come with more reps. (And thanks for taking my mind off the Zeke fiasco).

As an aside, TJ Watt looked really good last night. 2 sacks.
Just sayin'.

I'm all for watching the game tonight...

He could luck into 3 sacks and fans will exclaim greatness.
He can grade out as the top DL in the game or in all of this weeks games by attracting double or triple teams to free up other players and fans will demand he should be cut for having no sacks.

And Taco has been less than stellar against similar competition.

Possible. But in my entire life, I've only seen one player light it up in the preseason and have that carry over into the games that counted.
And he's in my avatar photo.

Taco looked terrible against future Home Depot stockers.

Different team, coaches, scheme and surrounding players.
What if Dak had gone to a team without a great OL, great RB and quality WRs and TE?
Taco won't exactly have Deion and Darren Woodson behind him forcing QBs to hold the ball.

Actually, Taco went up against a tackle named Ulrick John in the HOF game. He started a few games for the Cardinals last year; so at least he wasn't stonewalled by a rookie.

It seems you know a lot about shelf stockers at Home Depot...

I haven't given up on Taco. I think he has the goods to have a solid career. He just needs to develop.Oooooh good one!
But I don't see him becoming a dynamic sack master. Guys like Vonn Miller are extremely rare.
