I was bored so I decided to do a little research on the 8 players who rotate in and out of the DL. I divided the 8 guys between the 'Rotational' DL (Bryant, Charles, Wynn, Lawson) and the 'Starting' DL. For everybody that doesn't want stats for individual players, the combined stats are:
130 Tackles, 25 sacks, 7 batted passes, 4 forced fumbles and a pick on 533 plays run by Bills' opponents. This means that the Bills DL players make about 30% of the plays on Defense.
As you'd expect, the starters are better than the rotational guys at everything, except batting passes. I couldn't find numbers on tackles for a loss or tackles for no gain. The tackle numbers given are solo and assists combined. Individual player stats are listed below, along with total stats for the Rotational and Starting DLs.
DT Corbin Bryant
7 Tackles, 1 Sack, 1 FF
DT Stefan Charles
10 Tackles, 1 Sack
DE Jarius Wynn,
13 Tackles, 1 Sack, 2 batted passes
DE Manny Lawson
14 Tackles, 1 Sack, 2 batted passes
The Rotational DL has 44 tackles, 4 sacks, 4 passes batted and a forced fumble.
And the starters for comparison:
DT Kyle Williams
20 Tackles, 2.5 Sacks, 1 Int
DT Marcell Dareus
27 Tackles, 7 Sacks, 1 batted pass, 1 FF
DE Jerry Hughes
28 Tackles, 5.5 Sacks, 1 batted pass, 1 FF
DE Mario Williams
21 Tackles, 6 Sacks, 1 batted pass, 1 FF
The Starting DL has 96 tackles, 21 sacks, 3 batted passes, 3 forced fumbles and an Int.
When I've got some more free time I'll try to find tackles for a loss and run stops by DL players.
