Next Gen Stats used by NFL.com are based on information from sensors that every NFL player has on his body. For example, they define a pass rusher as "defeating" his blocker when he is closer to the QB than the blocker. They have tons of information to analyze. One thing they found was that many times the player who got a sack was not the first one to beat his blocker and pressure the QB Lots of good penetrating DTs don't record sacks, but they actually "create" them by pressuring the QB into the tackle of another player.
Even if McCoy does not rack up big sack numbers he will increase the number of sacks we get as a team.
