It’s no secret that Myles Garret has been amazing this season. However when put into context his season only seems more impressive. He has had far fewer chances to sack the opposing quarterback than the other leading edge rushers.
Here you can see opposing teams only attempted 236 passes against Cleveland this season, which is by far the least in the league. The league average is about 319 attempts, but that includes teams that have played 10 games, while Cleveland has only played nine games so far. The league average is about 34 attempts per game, but Cleveland only sees about 26 attempts per game.
Added to this, Cleveland has managed to reduce the opposing teams time of possession under 25 minutes in 5 out of 9 games so far.
Myles is an absolute force. He’s one of three or four defensive ends that literally needs to be accounted for or schemed around every single play. Truly a gamewrecker.
He’s got Zion Williamson levels of explosiveness and plays more aggressive than just about anyone.
Myles Garret is a freak of nature athlete. Monster out there, and I’m a browns hater
Who’s the others on your list? Cuz imo it’s watt and myles in a tier of their own followed by guys like Nick bosa and Micah parsons and other elite pass rushers.
Watt and Myles are in the will single handedly take over a game and win it for their team.
Other elite players make big plays and contribute to a win but myles and watt score and do everything to win. Sometimes being the only bright spot at all.
I think Crosby deserves to be considered in that group.
