The sack part is so true. Sacks can also very much being a RB stat. A lot of pressures are designed to isolate the RB. Whole lotta reasons pressure can materialize that isn't just "OL didn't block"

Dan Lanning had an interesting statement during his press conference today about sacks.

"I've always thought the sack statistic is put on the O line a little bit too much at times.... I always feel like that's a quarterback stat... It's an O line stat. It's a scheme stat."

I have also thought interceptions should not always be placed squarely on the QB. Sometimes the ball is thrown perfectly and the receiver just pops it up into the air. That should not be on the QB.

Maybe sacks and interceptions should be like errors in baseball. They could be attributed to anyone.
