Much has been made of the New York Jets’ questionable snap distribution on offense, but there are some issues with the defense’s snap distribution, too. These decisions have primarily affected the pass rush.
The Jets are not getting after the quarterback like they were in 2022. After ranking in first quarterback hits (130), seventh in sacks (45), and third in pressure rate (25.4%, via Pro Football Reference), the 2023 Jets are currently ranked 17th in quarterback hits (18), 21st in sacks (6), and 22nd in pressure rate (19.2%).
