Today I wanted to continue the series, studying NFL position groups and facets of the game. Next up is interior defensive line (IDL), looking at pass rush data from Sports Info Solutions (SIS).
The stats in this study are from the 2023 season, focusing on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The goal is to see how they stacked up against their peers across the NFL.
First, let’s look at pass snaps along with their total snaps to get a gauge of the player’s opportunities, and how often they were able to stay on the field for their squads last season:
This visual is a reminder of several Steelers lacking opportunities compared to the rest of the league in 2023.
