He got 8 last year as a backup.....Don't really understand the predictions of lower numbers while playing twice as much.

Doesn't always work that way. Melvin Oliver led the team with 6 sacks as a backup in '02. Then in '04, working in the same defensive scheme as a starter with two more years experience and with Spears on the other side drawing attention from the OL, he had 1 sack. Alem will be working in a new defensive scheme with just one more year's experience while being the main focus of the OLs. He may go off for 20+ sacks or he may be held to 1 or 2.

Personally, I'm hoping for the 20+.
