As for tackles made after being pushed off the line of scrimmage i don't know, but since 90% of the running plays in the NFL go for positive yardage I am assuming almost every DT makes most of his tackles off the line of scrimmage. Also i am 100% positive that DTs getting blocked off the line of scrimmage don't make any tackles at all. DTs don't get any tackles when they are getting blocked.
You are welcome.
Thanks for the links to those "facts" and not your opinions.
