The New York Jets‘ defensive line is enjoying an excellent start to the season. New York’s defense ranks fourth in sacks per game (3.3) and sixth in quarterback hits per game (7.0).
The primary four-man rush of John Franklin-Myers (LDE), Sheldon Rankins (LDT), Quinnen Williams (RDT), and Bryce Huff (RDE) has been stellar. Those four players have combined to produce a pressure rate of 12.0% this season. That ranks fourth-best in the NFL out of every team’s top-four leaders in pass-rush snaps.
Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich‘s defensive front will have a chance to keep the fire burning against a sluggish Atlanta Falcons offensive line in Week 5.
