IMO it has alot to do with scheme.
I'm not saying that we'll suddenly get as many sacks as the Steelers, Eagles and the Cowboys.
But, we had virtually the same line we had last year + JT and we somehow managed to get fewer sacks.

There were 2 changes: 1st was going from Blache's scheme to Palermo's scheme
the 2nd was going from Phillip Daniels to JT55 which i consider to be a pass-rushing upgrade.

I agree about Wilson and Jackson, before we signed JT i thought that this year was gonna be Wilson breakout year.
