Jerry Hughes 5th in league in total pressures in 2018

This stat is all the more impressive given the fact that the refs legalized holding on Jerry years ago.  The union rep said it himself.  Jerry Hughes is extremely unpopular amongst NFL refs, and he doesn't get nearly the number of holding calls that he should.  O-Linemen in the NFL know this, and we see it on display every week.  Truly disgraceful and unprofessional.

Heres the ironic thing though.  Jerry has the second fewest sacks in this group and half as many as Ford, Watt, and Jones who have the same amount of pressures.

 

Donald: 21.5 sacks, 106 pressures

Cox: 10.5 sacks, 95 pressures

Ford: 13 sacks, 78 pressures

Watt: 16 sacks, 75 pressures 

Hughes: 7 sacks, 74 pressures

Jones: 15.5 sacks, 73 pressures

Graham: 4 sacks, 70 pressures

 

Anyone know why Jerry isn’t getting actual sack numbers the way that Jones and Watts are?  I can recall a few times when he has come close to a sack but didn’t finish the play.  

 

Anyone know why his actual sack numbers were so low this season and last?

very nice.  It’s amazing how him and Lorenzo have been able to maintain their high level of play.

 

I hope they are working on bringing them both back to end their respective careers in B/lo !!

He sure did get held  A LOT this season.Some bad ones that wasn't called. Hopefully he will have better luck with the refs next year and his numbers will be even better. Overall though, I thought he had a pretty dam good season for himself.

 

Holy crap did he ever. I know he was on the refs radar for a couple of seasons given his track record of committing a few personal foul penalties per season and always jawing but over the last two seasons he hasn't had any scuffles at all. You'd think he'd get a call here and there.
