Using QB pressures as a measure of pass rushing ability is like using pass rating to judge a QB. All it means is that he didn't get to the QB in time. What constitutes a QB 'pressure' anyway? He was around the guy when he passed the ball?

He's a top rusher, I'll give him that. I honestly didn't think he'd be what he's become. but he hasn't turned a game around or dominated a game defensively like other top pass rushers in the league. Most feared pass rusher in the league? I doubt that.

It's not that he just gets alot of pressures. He gets a ridiculous amount of heat and hits on the QB. Boss Chiefs post from earlier says it best....


according to that site (from a well respected source), Hali has a higher combined number of sacks, pressures and hits on qbs than any teams top DUO of pass rushers in the NFL.

If that doesn't get one in the discussion for top pass rusher. I don't know what else will.

That site also has Charles, Addai and Hillis as their Pro Bowl RB selections.

Something tells me that CJ, Foster, and McFadden might have something to say about that.

That site grades players on everything they do. Complete players get rewarded and will grade higher than guys who put up better "numbers". The actual probowl will select guys like CJ, Foster, and McFadden because of thier good "fantasy football numbers". I assume Charles, Addai, and Hillis grade higher for thier efficiency in the touches they recieve and blocking skills.
