[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 464742"] Attributing sacks/hits/pressures to a particular player involves a fair amount of subjectivity, even if you're PFF. For example, I've seem Newhouse's sack count from last season variously reported as low as 8 (in this piece) to as high as 13 from other sources. Regardless of which numbers you prefer, the amount and quality of help factors in greatly. In any event, my personal "eye test" says Newhouse looks better...not great, but better. Here's what I find interesting in this piece: By my count, Rodgers dropped back 90 times in the first two games (77 passes + 8 sacks + 8 runs - 3 knee downs). Yet SF and CHI brought their top speed rusher against Newhouse only 46% of the time (18 from A. Smith and 23 from Peppers) according to PFF. I harken back to the pre-season debate on these pages about "how important is the LT?" The blind side remains very important...the highest risk of game/season/carreer ending QB injury comes from the blind side. Also, escaping the rush to make lemonade out of lemons is less likely if a guy gets beat on the blind side. However, many defenses search out match-ups for their elite pass rushers. LT is less important against teams like SF and CHI who move their guy around; LT is a lot more important against teams like MIN who brings Allen exclusively from the blind side (at least prior to this season...I've not seem MIN play this year). It can change from year-to-year as we've seen with Matthews...all left side of the D last year with a healthy dose of contain and coverage responsibility; all right side of the D this year in "release the hound" mode.
