Last I checked they were among the leaders at pressuring the QB.
I think you are right. It is very hard to find QB pressures (I think because hurries are just something somebody says, not a league stat, but sacks are a league stat.) We're 29th in sacks, but as we all know, we try to get pressure, often w/3, rather than necessarily "get home" every play. I believe the Rams have the same issue this year, not many sacks, but way up there in the pressure category. Going by memory though... I might be wrong.
Aside: I hate that somebody said "get home" in like 2014 or so and ever since then you have to say "get home" to mean "sack the guy." Also, I kind of preferred hearing people had long arms or a big wingspan, or were tall/lean/fast, and then hearing the advantage in each situation... rather than hearing that a guy is "long," or worse yet, "rangy." Rangy sounds like you could mean he can range from point A to point B, or that his "length" (or wingspan) allows him a crazy range of motion, for instance, in batting down passes. (I'm pretty sure "rangy" guys get from point A to point B, but with some uses I hear it seems that being long and lean allowed a blocked punt or batted pass.)
