If your not running a filter in line... yes it could, but its not the sock, you just picked up crap. If you had a inline filter I would tell you to blow the sock off so its not restrictive(specially if its a old sock)

Like Mr P Body said, I don't think you'll find a 1/2" one anyway. One inline filter is enough.
