Bedard (or someone on staff at SI.com) has done a decent job here in coming up with a set of stats that describe overall pressure that defenses are putting on quarterbacks. At least, I think it's decent because it squares with my feelings on watching both Denver and Green Bay pretty consistently that Denver does a more consistent job of harassing opponents' QBs than Green Bay, despite the fact that Green Bay has more sacks (GB 27 - Den 26).
I've been interested in what the sacks/hits/hurries totals might be for this reason, but I haven't had time this year to get into stats as much as I normally like to.
Here's the main chart for defense. Green bay is 30th in overall "pressure rate":
Now, they have been hampered by injuries at OLB, again. I will be interested to see what might happen in the latter part of the season if they can get Matthews back up close to speed. Teams have been doubling Daniels and not really having to worry about anyone else.
