Re: Breakdown of Matt Cassel's sack numbers?

if he stays on pace he is going to be sacked about 50-60 times. he absolutely needs to improve on unloading the ball. granted at least he's not fumbling or turning the ball over, but he's gonna get himself injured at some point.

I think that one factor in this though is that a lot of his sacks seem to have been 1 or 2 yard losses (I think there are at least 3 or 4 that were a tossup whether it was a 6" loss or 6" gain and therefore not officially a sack, but a rush) which is basically the same as an incompletion. On many of those if he throws it away instead of running around and taking the sack, there is very little difference.
