Marcus Maye stars, pass rush flops: Advanced stats for the New York Jets defense

After yet another offseason of choosing not to make a big-time investment at the EDGE position, the Jets are looking as weak as ever at the position.

In Buffalo, the Jets’ edge rushers (Tarell Basham, Jordan Jenkins, Jordan Willis, Kyle Phillips) combined for zero sacks and one quarterback hit over 78 pass rush snaps. That’s a sack or hit on 1.3% of pass rush snaps, a rate better than only the Panthers (0 for 50) among the league’s 32 edge groups in Week 1. The league average edge rusher picked up a sack or hit on 3.
