The read

Vita grades below average among interior linemen so far, with no number far from the middle.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 5 games are behind the season figures.

How he stacks up

Every graded stat at a glance, against all the interior linemen in the league.

  • Sacks per 100 snaps0.040th of 96small sample
  • Tackles for loss per 100 snaps0.049th of 96
  • Pressures per 100 snaps1.453rd of 96

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying interior linemen. Faded bars are still small samples.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among interior linemen after each week, and every game behind it.

Season rank climbed: 30th to 45th percentile since Wk 2.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 100 (the best) to 0 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 43 snaps can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every interior lineman with at least 80 snaps. Right on the strip is better.

Pressures per 100 snaps

Typical

1.4

53rd of 96 interior linemen · bottom 46%

Sacks, hits and hurries as Pro Football Reference charts them, for every 100 snaps he plays. A pass rusher is doing his job on plays that never become a sack.

The box score: A sack total misses most of what a rusher does and depends on how many snaps he plays.

Does it show up in winning? Across 129 games league-wide, teams won 42% of the time when their interior lineman was in the best third on pressures per 100 snaps, and 28% when he was in the worst third.

Sacks per 100 snaps

Typical

0.0

40th of 96 interior linemen · top 42%

Sacks for every 100 snaps he plays. Rare, so it swings fast; pressures are the steadier read.

The box score: A sack total ignores how many snaps he played.

Does it show up in winning? Across 129 games league-wide, a good or bad game on sacks per 100 snaps from a interior lineman has not lined up much with his team winning (44% wins in the best third, 35% in the worst).

Tackles for loss per 100 snaps

Typical

0.0

49th of 96 interior linemen · bottom 50%

Plays he ends behind the line of scrimmage, for every 100 snaps.

The box score: Tackles for loss are counted, but never against the snaps he played.

Does it show up in winning? Across 129 games league-wide, teams won 54% of the time when their interior lineman was in the best third on tackles for loss per 100 snaps, and 30% when he was in the worst third.

Playing time

He has played in 5 of his team's 5 games with snap counts, on the field for about 71% of the team's defensive plays when he plays.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's defensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level.

Players with a similar profile

The interior linemen whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
