Pass rush data shows Raiders edge rushers on opposite ends of spectrum
Pass rush data shows the dichotomy between the Raiders two starting edge rushers could not be more stark.
The Raiders' pass rush has revealed a stark contrast between two of their edge rushers this season. Maxx Crosby has been the dominant force, while Kwity Paye has struggled significantly. According to Pro Football Focus data, Crosby's pass rush win rate and double team rate are among the best in the NFL. In stark contrast, Paye's double teamed rate is near league average, but his pass rush win rate is the lowest in the league.
Paye's issues in this area were a major concern last season, leading many to question why the Raiders signed him as one of their top free agents. His performance has been so poor that he appears to have regressed rather than improved. The addition of Malcolm Koonce on a one-year deal shows the team's confidence in his abilities, but as of now, he's among the top pass rushers in the graphic.
