What are the Bengals doing at Defensive Tackle?

How many snaps on average per game did the Bengals utilize a NT?

My gut tells me not a lot, but I would love it someone had a way to let us know the facts from 2023.

TLL has done the snap count for DJ Reader over the years and it is not a ton of snaps which is why I think we aimed for DT's that have 
high upside in Rankins, Jenkins and Jackson instead of just outright NT's. Jackson is the most like Reader so I would list him as the NT 
right now, and I think he is an upgrade over Tupou for sure who was Reader's backup last year.

I think in the end the problems with stopping the run were much more than just NT last year, it was communication, bad angles and 
poor tackling. But Tupou was pretty terrible last year backing up Reader when I watched him play.
