Yakuza Rich: Year-by-Year Sacks of Phillips' Defenses

I went back and searched the records of how many sacks Phillips' defenses have had since he was a D-Coordinator for the Eagles in 1986. Zimmer averaged 29 sacks a season with his defenses (oddly enough, we actually averaged MORE sacks with the 3-4 than we did under Zimmer's preferred 4-3).

As you will see, Phillips' defenses are quite a bit different.
