1. Both Hubbard and Lawson should see their numbers go up due to more playing time. Michael Johnson played almost 500 snaps on defense last year.
2. Just heard a fascinating interview about these Next Gen stats that are compiled from sensors on the players bodies during the game. Their "win rate" is based on when the defender is closer to the QB than the blocker. One of the interesting findings from using all these sensors is that the player who gets the sack is often not the first player to get pressure in the QB. So even though Lawson only got credit for one sack last year his constant pressure on the QB generated sacks for other players.
