He was sacked 16 times in 2010. The Same O line gave up 35 last year.
Code:
Pressure
   |     \
   |      \
   |       \
Sacks   Pass attempt
            |        \
            |         \
            |          \
      Incomplete    Complete


Hits and knockdowns come on pass attempts.
Sacks do not measure actual time or the [change in] the physical position of the rushers with respect to Manning. Manning might avoid sacks because he often releases the ball within 1 second, but that doesn't mean that Dlinemen weren't a split second from legally hitting him after the pass/incompletion.
