That metric in particular illustrates the sustainability of Peebles’ production because it showcases his ability to win regularly.Peebles did grade out well against the run by PFF’s metrics, for what it’s worth, but he is likely to be more of a pass rush specialist, and is ideally in a defensive scheme that prioritizes getting off the ball, rather than reading and reacting where offensive linemen can then engage with him.”Peebles plays like a boxer who constantly comes forward and keeps the pressure on his opponent,” wrote Lance Zierlien.As Liam Coen mentioned recently, the Jaguars have a solid foundation along the defensive front, but at a heavily rotated position group, improved depth is very much a must. Last season, the Jaguars ranked 32nd in ESPN’s pass rush win rate and 27th in run stop rate.
