Shows how the sack total can mislead. Reminds me of how Freeney never had the sack totals of some other guys around the league, but that didn't represent the monster he was for the opponent. Arguably the best pass rusher of the 2000's.

Pressures, hurries and hits all count toward a disruptive pass rush, and Freeney had a lot more of those than any of our recent double digit sack guys. He was a legit threat on every single snap, whereas these other guys seem to just get 1 a game, most (but not all) games, but are otherwise quiet.
