Grading Highlight of the Week: ED Malik Carney, Saskatchewan 

If you regarded solely on the field rating from Saskatchewan’s 37-18 win over the B.C. Lions, you may miss the affect Malik Carney had on the sport. He recorded simply two tackles, with no sacks or tackles for loss. But these numbers don’t replicate the disruption he brought on within the passing recreation.

Carney posted three quarterback hits, two hurries and 6 further pass-rush wins. His 44.0% pass-rush win price led the league in Week 4 — almost 20% increased than the following closest participant — and he completed with a league-best 91.8 pass-rush grade.

So why did Carney’s total grade are available in at “simply” 81.7? Run protection. He missed a deal with and earned a forty five.8 run-defense grade, flattening his total mark. Still, Saskatchewan will take that trade-off each time if it means their edge rusher is wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
