What is 11 Personnel Faced Rate?
11 personnel means one running back, one tight end and three receivers, and it is the base offense for most of the league. 11 personnel faced rate is the share of a defense's charted scrimmage snaps played against that grouping. A high rate is usually a statement about the schedule rather than the defense -- nobody chooses the personnel they see -- and it is the number to read first before judging a coverage or run-defense rate, because a unit that faces three receivers on nearly every snap is being asked a different question than one that does not. Rates across the published groupings do not sum to 100%, because snaps in groupings without their own page are counted but not shown, and plays with an extra offensive lineman are excluded as a different look entirely.
