Before I start, I have to give a special thanks to WCG community member BOBdaBEAR for creating the terrific windmill graphic you see above. Although I imagined the number mill as a lumber mill, I don’t imagine one could make a lumber mill graphic as cool as this, I’m not a metaphor purest, and I’m not one to turn down free legitimately-elite graphics.
The sack is an elusive, fickle beast. There are clean-up sacks and coverage sacks, and there are unbelievable pass-rush efforts that are narrowly averted by dumb luck. It seems like every year the NFL has a different sack leader, and the all-time sack record has been held for years by a man who may be a better talk show host than he was a pass rusher—not to say that Michael Strahan was not a very good pass rusher, but let’s admit, he is excellent on television.
