Right. Encouraging thing is that mostly anyone that played then speaks his praise. Unfortunately sacks are one of those black and white numbers for a lot of people. So they'll see that he has less than Jared Allen or John Abraham and not realize that Freeney was the bigger gameplan threat. Arguably the biggest threat of his time.
Also, the spin move gets all the shine and for good reason. But it was the way Freeney rock/paper/scissored OTs to death that was so impressive to me. He could beat you with straight speed, bull rush, or spin and he knew how to set guys up over the course of several plays at a time.
