If he did he would have at least 8 sacks(I rewatched all of the games and counted them). He has a pretty good shoulder lean when turning the corner on his speed rush and he does well with the bull rush by getting under the OL pads. He needs to get better with hand fighting to keep the OLmen hands off of him.
He is the total package in the sense that he can play in space, rush the QB, and play the run effectively. As everyone else has said he should improve significantly next season.
I am very impressed with Moore. He has had quite a few QB pressures over the last 2 games as well as his 2 sacks. Moore plays the run pretty well also.

I think he's done quite well judging by the fact we never hear about him making mistakes or see him getting shaken by rbs or burned by TEs in coverage.
That being said I think he sometimes gets physically outmatched by the biggest/strongest/most athletic O linemen (tackles) when his initial pass rush is mitigated. Others have mentioned increasing his bag of tricks or counter moves is going to be important for him. But more so for me will be increasing his playing strength and first step quickness.
The experience (play recognition/instinct) is going to help with quickness/reaction times as will specific workouts but once he builds some NFL caliber muscles his initial hand punch or contact with tackles is going to be much more effective. Sending an OT off balance with a stronger punch even for a split second coupled with better secondary moves should allow him to not only get to the QB more often but also hold on and finish the play (as several posters have alluded to his letting QBs escape him). As well as make his counter moves more effective.
I look at some recent examples of rookies that have had immediate impacts as rookies and two shinning examples are Cushing and Mathews. I think both those guys did roids but the point is they were physically ready to handle NFL tackles at 22-23. For those that don't juice up or are physical specimens that muscle adjustment period takes times and I think 96 is going to get there and produce for us at a consistent level for some time to come.
Jermain Cunningham needs to learn how to wrap up he has missed atleast Fives Sacks because of that.
