Sacks are not the only statistic to look at when considering production from a DE. While Agents like to point at that one stat to support the idea of their clients worth, one could also take a look at the number of Tackles a DE is a part of to determine production.

While I am going by what my eyes see during a game as the major factor for determining "production" let me at least show you some Tackles numbers as an indicator.

Maybin - 49 Tackles
Brown - 37 Tackles (as a Jr. couldn't find his Sr. numbers)
Orakpo - 42 Tackles
Kruger - 61 Tackles (2007)
Johnson - 43 Tackles (he only had 21 as a Jr. when he did not start)

So, it really just comes down to what you are looking at. Maybe MJ is such an athlete that I was expecting more when I saw him.
