Not sure how the stat is kept. I don't think a planned TT draw up the middle that is stuffed for a 1 yard loss is counted as a sack. It may be a discretionary call by the stat-keeper, like an assist or an error.
I sort of had the reverse thought. I've seen several plays that would have been sacks against less mobile QBs that TT has turned into a gain with his ability to scramble and run. I suspect the "should have been sacked but got away" number is higher than the "ran for a loss and we'll call it a sack." Not sure if there is any way to tell. -Zeb On Nov 10, 2009, at 9:42 AM, Badrish Davanagere wrote: > Don't forget...some of the sacks are not totally deep behind the > line of scrimmage...but they are result of TT trying to run but > getting stuffed (meaning, these sacks were not due to OL failing to > protect the QB kind of sacks).
