6. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars’ front seven is another unit not quite adding up to the sum of its parts. The talent of Josh Allen and Travon Walker set an elite ceiling, but the team only ranked 11th in pressure rate generated in 2.5 seconds or less.

17. Houston Texans
Houston ranked sixth in pressure rate generated in 2.5 seconds or less last season. The unit will likely continue to improve after the addition of Danielle Hunter and the continued development of Will Anderson Jr.

Most of the dialogue throughout the list is based on the 'pressure generated in 2.5 seconds,' Given that the Texans were sixth last year, prior to adding Danielle Hunter and Denico Autry, makes the #17 ranking odd.

It's one metric out of dozens of metrics that factor into the talent and effectiveness of a front 7

Just because he cites it, that doesn't mean it is his primary or overarching method of reaching a grade or rank for each group of linemen and linebackers
