That’s an interesting thought

as offenses spread out more, do they double team pass rushers less?

and deal with the pass rush by throwing hot more?

there are a few ways that could result in different sack concentrations

as offenses keep RB and TE in to block, there are fewer guys in routes that need to be covered, so it makes more sense to send extra guys in the rush, thus more guys out there who can pick up sacks

sack concentration seems like a function of defensive philosophy, a defense that does a lot of blitzing will have a lower sack concentration than a defense that wants to blitz less, cover everyone, and rely on their front 4 for the pass rush

if offenses are getting better at throwing hot/quickly, are only the best pass rushers able to get to the QB before the offenses are able to get rid of the ball? Thus changing the concentration

Not including NWE’s third round pick, of the 8 DE/OLBs taken in first round, those bottom teams counted for 5 of them. Including NWE’s pick, that’s 6 of 9 first picks that were OLB/DE taken by the bottom 6 teams with the lowest concentrated sack percentage.
