He knocked at least one pass down that I can remember at the line, as well.
You are ALL making my point for me. Allen had ZERO SACKS, but he sure as hell was a factor, wasn't he?? D Free, while not racking up sacks, sure is a FACTOR, isn't he?? Mr. ALL WORLD ANDY J. seems to think not, because the NFL doesn't keep official stats on things like "pressures". And of course, if they don't track it, it must not happen, or be of any consequence
Thanks for the support guys!

Freeney doesn't get that many QB hurries and pressures either.. He's one of the most over-rated DEs in the league.
Yes he does. Freeney is an excellent DE. I have no idea why so many Pats fans feel the need to belittle him.
He absolutely DOES get the pressures, this is fact. Now, as far as your opinion that he is over rated, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion.Freeney doesn't get that many QB hurries and pressures either.. He's one of the most over-rated DEs in the league.
he was a bit more dynamic in the Playoffs last year, and a bit better at it this year. But, in the end, I assume he only does what he is instructed to do. Not sure why on 3rd and long versus the Pats, he's never instructed to "play the draw". Bottom line is he does force the issue, the QB's feel his presence, and he must be accounted for, usually with a double team. Ogden has done pretty well with him, but Freeney has also won many of those battles. Amazing if you take their size difference into account.I'm kind of in the middle regarding Freeney. He is a one-trick pony who is really good at the one trick that he does. He is very good at bringing pressure and forcing the opposition to double team him, but because the Colts send him up the field almost exclusively he takes himself out of the play if they run. He's also short for the position and doesn't get his hands on balls at the line like a lot of the more complete ends (like Allen yesterday).

There is opinion, and then there is stupidity. Mr. Andy has been taking me to task about Freeney. When you refuse to recognize "QB Pressures" as a viable asset/function (primarily because the NFL doesn't keep an "official statistic" on it), then the "opinion" borderline insaneIf everyone is entitled to their opinion, why did you start this ridiculous thread in response to someone else's opinion?
