Last year was a down year considering what he did in 2007. Still better then the guy we are comparing him too, Butler.
He did play man coverage and became the starter on November 24th ,2007. I was wrong about playing against #1s. You win 1 out of 3 there good job. Still doesn't help any argument about Butler because all he did was play #3s because for a majority of the season he was the NICKEL BACK for 11 out of 16 games.
He is best suited for man coverage because he is good at bump n run coverage, not because we play man a lot. What does not being a good tackler have to do with covering a WR? Oh yea thats right NOTHING. Gambles too much but makes plenty of picks while giving up 57% of his passes. Well worth the gamble since the the best CB in the NFL gives up 44%.
[QUOTE=AndyJohnson;1825273]It actually supported my point while I was saying its unreliable. Duh. That is my point, you are basing your argument on stats from a site that has obvious inaccuracies. [ /quote]
The site is inaccurate because the 2007 season is incomplete due to the fact the site started DURING the 2007 season and missed out any information that happened prior to opening? Even though the 2008 and 2009 seasons are completely accurate? Right

Playing one year with a fractured hip may affect your ability just a little bit. In 2009 they switched from man to zone because there pass rush was horrendous and the secondaries were getting torched because CBs can't cover WRs for 10 seconds per play. I guess that doesn't make sense?

There are many quesitons that need to be answered in how they are compiled
What was the coverage?
How do they determine who to charge the catch agaisnt?
If it is in between a zone, do you charge the corner, safety, LB? Whoever makes the tackle?
Are they just using the stats of the player lined up against that guy?
Was there help?
Was it in prevent defense?

A - I know how he covered based on the ACCURATE stats given.
B - Read above
C - Any thrown at stat on the website is either in man to man or the players zone. If a guy is man to man obviously he would be charged the catch. If you have film to review and half a brain you can figure out who is covering who by watching the play unfold. Example if a CB is playing man to man against WR1 and releases him to the safety in order to pick up WR2, I'd say thats common football sense. It includes prevent defense.

Ok do you have a better website? Overall this website is accurate.

I think you got a stiff.

Scheme and pass rush are weak arguments? hahaha Are you serious? Ok put a great CB on a decent WR and let him try to cover him for 10 seconds and watch the WR get open every time bc NO CB CAN COVER ANYONE ALL DAY. Eventually they get open so if you have a piss poor pass rush, chances are you have piss poor pass defense regardless of whos in your secondary. Scheme is HUGE some players could fit schemes while others can't. Ray Lewis is one of the best MLBs EVER. In the 4-3 he is a God. In the 3-4 hes play takes a noticeable hit because he is not BUILT FOR THAT SCHEME. Ray Lewis ya know, better then any defender whos suited up for the Patriots. You guys drafted McCourtney because the Pats felt he fit your scheme better. We wouldn't of drafted him over Wilson because the Jets feel he fits their scheme better. Still feel scheme and pass rush don't affect players? If you do lets just have our teams fire all coordinators and drop back 11 players on D n see what happens.
One's fools trash is another mans treasure. I'm happy with Cromartie as the Jets #2 CB. To each is their own.

I am flawed from the start? Open your eyes and watch a Jets-Patriots game without your tinted blue glasses. Its not hard to see who is better and who makes play and who does nothing but make tackles. So Sacks, FF and INTs aren't game changing plays they are aka I said so? WOW I guess the NFL should stop tracking those useless plays and only track tackles, THE MOST USELESS STAT IN THE NFL. Yeah he tackled him 10 yards down the field after he picked up a 1st down THAT IS A GAME CHANGER haha. Good job Mayo you have 3 or 4 of those today.

But wait I thought scheme is irrelevant and has no affect on any player? Didn't you say that is a weak argument? Yeah you failed on that one. If Mayo follows the SCHEME and is rarely called to rush the QB, obviously he won't get sacks. But how does that stop him from getting FFs and INTs. hmmm

If Patriot fans opinions of Patriots are irrelevant isn't your opinion of Jets irrelevant.
The playing field needs to be relevant, and you are starting to sound like a troll, who screams how great the jets are on a patriot board them dismisses a counterargument because it could only be biased.
|
yea I'm a troll ok lol. I'm showing you legitimate things of how David Harris makes more impact plays. The All Pro team isn't a joke like the fan voted Pro Bowl. The AP watch more Patriot games then i do and more Jet games then you do and unlike both of us, do not favor either in the slightest bit as they are neutral and do not care who you or I like. So why did they not vote the game changer Mayo over David Harris? Because he is NOT BETTER. He is more athletic. He does not hit as hard. He doesn't sack the QB. David Harris made more plays in 1 year then in Mayos whole career how do you not understand that??? There is a word that can be slapped on your forehead for not admitting Mayo doesn't make more impact plays then David Harris. BIAS. Calling me a troll for pointing out the obvious just because it isn't in your favor is a counterargument. That's life.
Here is a better question. Show me why Mayo is better. Please enlighten me.

My use of stats is to refute stats that you started with.
Again, you are sounding very trollish.
If your argument is going to follow the pattern of
-You make a statement
-Someone disagrees
-You act like your statement is the most honest, unbiased and honorable ever made and any reply by a Patriot fan is unfounded, biased and jaded.
Then why bother.

I agree to a certain extent. Sacks, FFs, INTs and TDs are very important, big time plays on defense. It just so happens Harris has a lot more then Mayo. It is what it is. I make statement, you counter, I counter back that is called debating. The problem is neither is giving in so its become a pointless debate. Like a rocking chair it is giving us something to do but not getting us anywhere.
