The Buffalo Bills use a heavy rotation on their defensive line. In doing so, they keep their linemen fresh, which theoretically allows for maximum pass-rush efficiency as time ticks down in games — and as seasons wear on into the long, cold winter.
While this heavy rotation tends to keep players fresh, it doesn’t always allow for players to maximize their own stat lines. This makes evaluating their output over the course of a season difficult, as they’re being compared to linemen who play hundreds-more snaps over the course of a season than they have. Considering some of Buffalo’s defensive linemen have only been part of the Bills for their career, those statistical comparisons become even more difficult.
