Their ability to occupy to OL each from the DT slots and collapse the pocket from the inside makes the edge rush more effective and reduces the amount of field the defense has to defend.

In many passing situations, they line up no DLs inside the tackle boxes, basically begging the run. But they know it isn’t coming and that their edge guys will kill the blocking TE, RB or desperately stretching G or C. Campbell makes this happen… Malik Jackson makes this happen… Dareus is a run guy and makes them less vulnerable to the counter or draw.

While many comparisons are made to Seattle elite pass D from 2013, Jax has arrived at it much differently.
