[Walder]Double team rate at edge (x) by pass rush win rate at edge (y) for the 2023 regular season. (ESPN Analytics / NFL Next Gen Stats)

1. I wonder if having 2 competent edge rushers as opposed to one really good one makes it harder to decide who to double team, or if this means that teams don’t usually double anyone.

   I also recall on a recent PFF pod they were essentially suggesting Walker was terrible all year and that they didn’t know why pass rush win rate favored him so highly, but they never gave any explanation for why. It is, obviously, at odds with his PFF grade.

2. This tells me if we had better interior defensive line that we would see less double teams for our edge rushers.
