Carl Lawson posts cryptic tweet

[Bilbo Saggins]

Pressures are good, they show that the DE is likely doing a good job of getting off of blocks. I think that  what's difficult for fans is that we don't have all of the pressure data in front of us. The very definition of a pressure can be subjective. We aren't sure if there were any pressures yielded by way of the OT knowing that the play was a bubble screen to the other side of the field and only blocking for a moment, for instance. We don't know the average yards per play or completion percentage(vs. neutral) on plays where Lawson is credited for a pressure. If you go back and look at those pressures and you see a bunch of interceptions or forced fumbles, but no sacks, that becomes a very compelling argument. If you see a bunch of quick dink and dunk passes where the OT just stops blocking, that too could be a compelling argument.

The problem is that we just can't see it. A sack is easy to see and it looks nice on a highlight reel. I'm sure that an NFL team could do very thorough, deep dive analysis.
