JJ was sacked 34 times last season.
Flynn was sacked 26 times in 2007.


Now factor in how many more plays Flynn's offense ran and he still took fewer sacks.

Jefferson is clearly not the only problem on the offense, but it's really hard to argue he is on par with Flynn's 2007 performance. Let's face it, you could completely start over on offense and not be much worse than the 2009 tigers (relative to the rest of CFB).

You got my curiousity up, so I researched it.

Flynn '07 sacks - 2.7% of plays resulted in a sack
JJ '09 sacks - 5% of plays resulted in a sack

Thats a quite a difference. Plus the '07 offense ran 1054 plays against tougher defenses. '09 only ran 771. Thats also quite a difference
