Credo che anch questo passaggio ripreso da Post Gazette sia rappresentativo :
Short on sacks
After starting the season with a rush, the Steelers have just 33 sacks with two games to go, threatening to have their fewest sacks in 17 years.
After they managed 39 sacks last season, director of football operations Kevin Colbert last spring cited an improved pass rush as a priority.
The Steelers at one point led the league in sacks. They had 19 after six games, but only 14 in their next eight, including one in their past three.
"We've got to do a better job of rushing the passer," Tomlin said. "We got home at times. We missed [Jaguars quarterback David Garrard] in the backfield one time. People have gotten the ball out on us pretty quickly. It's been some things. When people run the ball as well as they ran the ball [Sunday], it makes it tough to pin your ears back and generate a rush."
The Steelers' low under the 15-year tenure of coach Bill Cowher was 35 sacks in 2003. They had 34 in 1990.
On the other hand, Roethlisberger has been under a heavy pass rush much of the season. He has been sacked 43 times, just three fewer than last season, which was the most since Cliff Stoudt's club-record 51 sacks in 1983. Roethlisberger was sacked eight times in the past two games.
