Why is no one bringing up confidence and stamina? If a OT gives up a sack, he is going to get a morale penalty. If he gives up a couple more, it will snowball. Actually there should probably be a moral setting, where the team can bench a player when his morale drops below a certain level.
Also stamina is a big part of this. If these sacks are coming later in the game it kind of makes sense. The team is probably passing more when they trail, which is giving an energy penalty to the OT. Added together with the morale penalty, this is probably enough to kill players with low confidence and stamina.
I'll go out on a limb and say it's not true that if a OT gives up a sack that he takes a morale hit. My reasoning is because Bort can't find a way to have an O-line player stat that tracks sacks allowed. That suggests to us that game mechanics are unable to pin a sack allowed on any particular player.
That being said, I think it's probable that the entire O-line takes a morale hit when a sack is allowed.
