The entire Broncos line only gave up 6 sacks. A huge part of that has to be Jay Cutler. I've seen people talk about how great Clady's sack numbers are, which they are, but he does benefit by Cutler's quick release.
I think the offensive line greatly benefits from Cutler often asked to scramble one direction and only read one side of the field. However, Clady is an excellent player. He held his own against the Patriots this past season and really impressed me. Not to mention, Weigman (sp?) went to the Pro Bowl.
Levi Brown allowing 11 sacks is just sad. I mean, I know Kurt Warner holds onto the ball too long but Brown isn't protecting his blindside like he was with Leinart. If Leinart was the QB he probably would've been dead by now. What a bust.
Wouldnt the popularity bowl also take into consideration, not only sacks allowed, but run blocking too? They should have a ranking including that.
The Clady vs Long debate is a good one. I hope the two of them battle for Pro-Bowl and All-Pro spots for years to come.
