From watching (some of) our favorite LBs and DLs make them . . .
(1) Maybe I'm misremembering this, but in SB39, didn't Mike Vrabel get credit for a sack without ever actually bringing McNabb down? [I remember it b/c Vrabel was basically driving McNabb backwards. It ended up being -18 or -19 yards--and it looked like Vrabel could have gotten it past -25 yards with a bit more time. :rocker:] If so, when, exactly, can the refs call a sack?
(2) In a related measure, where do the zebras spot the ball after a sack? Where the QB was knocked off his feet, or where the ball ends up when he lands? [It seems like the former after Mike Wright's sack, which seemed like a lot more than 13 yards. . . .]
