Myles has never been able to rush in this type of environment

What happened: On @PatMcAfeeShow, analyst Dan Orlovsky said Myles Garrett "has never been able to rush in this type of environment." The point built on McAfee's framing that Garrett will now pin his ears back with a lead, forcing opponents into obvious, consistent passing situations.

Why it matters: The take reframes how Garrett's production could change following his offseason move, an angle that follows his NFC West arrival. Rushing with the lead more often turns down-and-distance in a pass rusher's favor and could lift his pressure and sack opportunities.

What to watch: Watch whether Garrett's projected role and snap usage bear out the analysts' framing as the 2026 season approaches.
