The Patriots are 8th in pressure rate and 30th in sacks.

I think part of that discrepancy is due to BBs tendency to pressure " mobile" QBs but keep them in the pocket as much as possible- or "contain". I know this irks a lot of us. I admit it gets on my nerves sometimes too. That strategy would result in a high volume of pressures and a low volume of sacks, as BB doesn't WANT his D to try and sack them lest they lose contain and give up a 10-15 yd qb run. It has worked a lot in the past but seems like the Pats are giving up a lot of easy passes recently by " mobile" QBs.
