Someone saying all the Sacks are somehow his fault in 3....2....1..... :lol:

FWIW I think the author did a smart thing with this that I hadn't seen before.
The totals above are just for sacks that are clearly the fault of the lineman listed -- these are the sacks in which pass protection indisputably broke down before it can be expected to do so.
As a result there's 23 sacks which are listed as "Coverage/Wilson", which is the right way to think about them, IMO.
Without looking at the All 22 and knowing the play and Wilson's progressions, for these 23 other sacks we don't really know if they're Wilson's fault (e.g. for bailing on the play, for making a misread in coverage causing him to hold the ball too long, for not getting through his progressions fast enough, for not throwing to an open receiver, etc.) or the fault of the coverage and/or receivers (e.g. defense just won the coverage matchup, primary receiver got jammed at the line, db won the matchup, receiver ran the wrong route, etc.).
I'm on the record many times over as saying that I think people (meaning all football fans) generally WAY over-attribute pass pro success and failure to offensive lines, and WAY under-attribute pass pro success and failure to QBs, but I think the author of that post is very, very smart to break things down that way, as it gives us a real sense of what is indisputably the fault of individual line members.
