How many defenders does Hyde have in 2019?

Thus far in 2019, Hyde has only faced a stacked box (8 or more defenders) on 3.33% of his carries, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Also, despite the considerable push being generated by Houston’s offensive line, he is still spending 2.75 seconds per carry behind the line of scrimmage, good for 14th overall – a mark not quite commensurate with the line’s aforementioned second overall stuffed rate.
