PFP discusses the great Colts rusher. Tip to Kuharsky
The most impressive (or interesting) thing about where Freeney gets his pressure from is the variation. Seen primarily as a speed rusher, Freeney is pretty much the complete package as a pass rusher and does a staggering amount of his work inside the offensive tackles. In fact, almost half (49.25 percent) of his pressure came there, with his 33 total pressures inside of blockers ranking him above all others in this category.
Furthermore, Freeney’s outside pressure numbers do not suffer as a result of this (as we saw with John Abraham). His 28 total pressures outside were more than respectable, bettered by only five players. The only real area that Freeney wasn’t among the league leaders was in bringing unblocked pressure, which is more likely to be seen in a positive than negative light.
