Garrett was doubled at a higher rate than any edge rusher besides Parsons according to the number I've seen.

I think Garrett had the highest. But isn’t it easier to double team a DE as opposed to an edge guy?

Regardless Parsons had significantly more pressures (106) and the same amount of sacks. Watt had 5 more sacks and the SAME amount of pressures as Garrett. Watt also dropped back into coverage from time to time.

I know base numbers aren’t everything but Garrett didn’t do a whole lot the last half of the season. 3 sacks in 7 games isn’t what you would expect from a DPOY. Against teams like the Broncos he got completely shut down. I know he was hurt but that can’t excuse someone from winning an award

They're both edges (primarily. Garrett lined up a bunch at DI this year, too).
