Seattle Seahawks, leader of QB pressure in NFC west

QB pressure (QB knock downs + Sacks + hurries), after one game, we are the king of QB Pressure in NFC west:

Seahawks: 7 Hurries + 4 KD + 3 sacks = 14 QB pressures
9ers: 1 Hurries + 6 KD + 3 sacks = 10 QB pressures
Cards: 0 Hurries + 5 KD + 6 sacks = 11 QB pressures
Rams: 2 Hurries + 1 KD + 3 sacks = 6 QB pressures

Compare to our division rivals, ours may as well be the no name DL, we don't have big names like Chandler Jones + JJ Watt, no Aaron Donald, or Nick Bosa + Dee Ford. But according profootball reference, our DL generated more pressure on opposing QB. I am hoping that in time, our youngsters could convert some of the hurries into sacks.

A quarterback hurry is counted when a defender either forces a quarterback out of the pocket or pressures the throw. It doesn't necessarily mean that the defender actually forced the quarterback to make a bad throw. Hurries are often a good indicator of a team's pass rush. Just because a player is not getting sacks, it does not mean he is not a good pass rusher, because hurrying the quarterback into a poor decision can be just as effective.
