Coach T, we got to spend 15 years together, and through the ups & downs it was a great ride. Thank you for all you did for me and this team, and this community! You are a legend, and one of the greatest to do it! Here is to the next chapter - whatever that looks like. -- Ben.
@bepryor Yeah god forbid a reporter was actually kind in a post game press conference for once. But you’ve never suited up or played the game so you wouldn’t understand the emotions involved within the game.
Alright, I'm going to say this one final time so all of you can move on. TJ Watt did not have 618 pass rush snaps in 2021. Myles Garrett did not have 437 pass rush snaps in 2025. There is some terminology (and intentionally misleading images) that we need to clear up.
Team pass snaps = total # off pass snaps the entire team faced (total pass attempts against + sacks)
Pass rush snaps = total number of times an individual player was a pass rusher
In 2021, the Steelers as a team faced 618 team pass snaps -- 563 attempts and 55 sacks.
In 2021, TJ Watt was a pass rusher on 393 snaps (413 total minus 20 snaps that were negated by penalty). He averaged 17.47 snaps per sack and 1.5 sacks per game played (2nd best all-time behind Reggie White's 1.75 in 1987).
In 2025, the Browns as a team faced 540 team pass snaps -- 487 attempts and 53 sacks. The "437" number floating around was team pass snaps as of December 15th.
In 2025, Myles Garrett was a pass rusher on 479 snaps (507 total minus 28 that were negated by penalty). He averaged 20.83 snaps per sack and 1.35 sacks per game played (8th best all-time).
All of this can be found on https://t.co/3AdZaAvt2k, https://t.co/OUgQbiHFIe and https://t.co/LL9ie6mlDF. There is a small amount of disagreement on pass rush snaps between PFF and NFL Pro, but it negligible.
Now, let's get on with our lives.
It's been a long journey with how things been in the portal but I wanna say how grateful I am for my former DC and the relationship we built. He welcomed me like family, trusted me to be a leader on the defense, and gave me opportunities that meant everything to my growth and confidence. That trust pushed me to rise to a standard he believed I could reach. He expected All-Conference out of me and that’s exactly what happened. Through that trust and belief, I also broke 2 school records, had the most turnovers in the conference along with being top 3 or 5 in multiple individual defensive categories in the conference. Those achievements reflect the confidence he had in me and the family culture he stood for. Forever thankful for the support, belief, and trust. This relationship goes beyond football and the words he gave me during this moment are meaningful to me of how much confidence he's always had in me. @CoachMottIV
