I thought Freeney did a lot of things that don't show up on stat sheets. He hurried Grossman a few times, or at least made him nervous.
It's hard to judge. Freeney only had 26 tackles and 5.5 sacks, but he changes the way an offense plays. He often had double teams whcih sometimes included the TE being forced to stay in (noteably agains the Chiefs in the playoffs Gonzalez was a non-factor because of having to block Freeney, I think Heap to an extent against Baltimore also).
I still think he's one of the best Pass Rushers in the league, even if his stats don't show it.
