Exactly...A great DE doesn't get by even an average lineman every single snap. What makes a great DE great is the fact that he is capable of beating his man for a sack once or twice a game. And getting past your blocker is just part of the equation, you also need to be able to chase down the QB before he releases it. Getting a sack is hard to do...that's what makes double-digit sack seasons such an impressive stat.
By Bootzilla's theory, DEs should be routinely getting 30+ sacks a season.
