Each week I’ll be writing a piece breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive personnel groupings, snap counts, and player usage from the previous game. Little bit tedious of a task, but it will help you understand who the coaching staff is using in what role, and how effective each player can be from different spots.
Personnel Groupings
Against New England, the Steelers were in 11 personnel 49 of 73 snaps (counting penalties), or just over 67 percent of the time. With Martavis Bryant serving his four-game suspension, the team did feature 12 personnel on 18 snaps, including 10 of their first 18 plays.
