Again, I think the inexperience of the secondary allows receivers to get open quicker, allowing the QB to get rid of it quicker, lowering sack numbers. Also, our secondary guys are used more often on blitzes, opening up faster releases by the QB, lowering sack numbers even more. Even a slight improvement in the secondary and the use of them by Spags could end up making our rush suddenly shoot up in the rankings. When the secondary guys get better and more well known in the league, QB's will become more cautious and hold the ball even longer. All of these aspects are synergistic, not additive.
