Pressures means you didn't get there for the sack. Sacks are huge plays that put the other team in negative yardage situations. Sometimes sacks cause fumbles and turnovers.

Pressures are valuable too as far as disrupting the pocket, forcing a bad decision, etc. And he’s got 20.5 sacks in his first 3 years. He’s a good young player who’s only getting better.

I choose to believe my eyes over a computer chip. Smith has had some of the cheapest sacks I've ever seen where he's stonewalled at the LOS, the QB runs, and Smith tackles him one yard behind the LOS. Half of Smith's sacks come from another player chasing the QB into him. Pressures are like having sex without getting a ...

Shot glasses, maybe. I expected to be in the minority on the topic of Smith. That's OK. We haven't had a dominant pass rusher in so long that most of you have forgotten what one looks like.

I agree that he is not elite, and neither is Kerrigan, but most teams don't have elite rushers because they are one of the hardest things to find. So you have to have as many good/solid rushers as you can get.

Well yes, but sometimes it means you forced him into another defensive players arms, Kerrigan had 13 sacks, or forced him to step up and make a bad pass. Hard to be dismissive of a guy who is consistently getting into the qb's pressure zone. Some QBs might not be affected - Brady for example, but others like Eli definitely are.

Sacks are one measure, Pressures have their use too.
