Well, what matters is what gap he's playing. If he's playing 0 gap, then he's not gonna get much sacks since he has to play the run to both his right and left first and occupy the blockers in front of him. If he plays the 1-gap or something, then he can try to split the linemen; it's what he has been doing these past few years. Besides, in a 3-4 he may be the DE, but the pass rusher is going to be Rak, and depending on how they line up, Al may just have to penetrate the 1-gap.
