This is what I call the sack fallacy. It's obvious that one sack is (usually) better than one pressure, but multiple pressures might be a lot better than one sack.
Pressures lead to incompletions, interceptions, twitchy QB play, shuffled OL resources, play-calling adjustments, blocked passing lanes, and a a ton of stuff that will win you games.
Pressures also work better when we have s pocket QB. Guys wit mobility however exploit us every time on key downs and I am sick of it
That's a LBer thing just as much. No one should expect Bosa to chase around Murray. Setting the edge is one thing. You need to spy those mobile guys.
pressure makes an entire defense.....
Charles Haley was nearly unblockable when he was in his groove....
I would much rather have a 10 or 11 sack Haley that was forcing QBs to get rid of the ball game after game...then a dude who got 16 sacks with half of them being cheaper pick up sacks....
Sacks are great....but we have all seen games were some dude is invisible 95% of the game...then lucks into a sack every once in a while.
Funny you should mention Haley, because his off the field behavior directly led him to being traded in his prime to the Cowboys and them winning the Super Bowl in 1992.
when he take a dump in Shanny's car....we can circle back to this....
