For crying out loud, it's week 6, guys. You guys know that a lot of rookie pass-rushers, some of whom played for this team, started slow in the sack department that later became solid or even great pass-rushers, right?
Just one example: Justin Houston. No sacks through his first 10 or 11 games, finished the season with 5.5. The following year he had 10, then 11 the next, then 22.
Now I'm not saying Karlaftis is going to follow the same exact trajectory; some of you knee-jerk reactionaries can keep your pants on, I'm just saying that we need to let things play out a while longer. The kid is a rookie going into his 7th week in the NFL. And it's not like he's been shut out. He's got 4-5 QB hits I think, 13 pressures(?), a TFL . . . he's shown some flashes, he'll be fine. Still think he can get 7-9 sacks before the season is over.
