New York Jets fans have given the team hell for not addressing the pass-rushing issue this season. Most of them think that the team is doomed to fail to create pressure yet again, which will doom a poor secondary.
That’s simply not the case.
In fact, the Jets got to the quarterback quite a bit last year. The Jets were second in pressures, third in QB hits and 15th in sacks last year. For those who don’t know, sacks are very far from the best stat to judge a team’s pass rush ability.
Take Aaron Donald for example.
