I won't place all the blame on the offensive line for the sacks on Ramsey last year.

Without a doubt some of them were Ramsey's fault, some of them were due to the line and some were due to the flaws in the system.

As far as the reduction in sacks once TH came in, I think a lot of that was due to the scaled down offense he was running. He wasn't required to take the deep 7 step drops that Ramsey was. Spurrier changed things up a bit for TH, because of his inexperience and because of his lack of arm strength.

I don't think it's as simple as saying the change in QB made all the difference in the reduction of sacks.

As for last week, Brunell was getting harrassed just as much as Ramsey was when he came in.
