We broke down the effectiveness of the Pittsburgh Steelers rushing offense the other day, which you can check out here. The focus on avoiding negative runs being on part of Alex Gibbs’ criteria to a quality rushing attack.
We’ll look at the Steelers’ rush defense today looking at that portion of the criteria. Defensively, how well did the team’s defense create negative, splash plays?
It’s a little easier and simpler to wade through the data so I’ll get straight into the data. Again, we care about relativity in our numbers. So we care about the average number of rushes per tackle for loss and will use that as our guide.
