Not nearly as valuable as beating the blocker and forcing the qb out of the schedule of the play.
Those two things may both be hurries or pressures but one is a lot closer to a sack than the other.
Kerrigan can lead the league in hurries and pressures and may or may not have any sacks. There isn't necessarily a correlation and definitely not a causation.
Generic statements with undefined terms don't really contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

I can tell you're statistically challenged. A correlation means that the more pressures you get, the more sacks you'll get. Pressures indicate you're getting close, sacks indicate you got there.
What I'm saying - and let me dumb it down so you can understand it - is that if Kerrigan weren't registering pressures, it would indicate a serious problem. It would mean he's not beating his man, he's not getting around the block, etc. But he is getting pressures, and as long as that keeps up, the sacks will come.
