Again you and Phil underestimate offensive lineman. They aren't easy to come by and with a game manager at QB instead of a game maker losing a great offensive lineman makes an absolutely tremendous difference.

I'm not arguing that he would have helped, but most of the key sacks came from well timed blitzes that the QB did not see coming rather than someone beating the replacement so I don't see him being the difference.
