Anyone pick this up? I've perused it for some relevant Pats information...
A$ante v. Hobbs:
Note: Originally I thought Hobbs had the better success rate, but when I read over the legend, football outsiders does success rate for DBs based on how often the DB was successful, normally the stat is just completion % against.
Hobbs had a 47% success rate, 8.6 yd/attempt, 25% success rate against the run & 8 yd/run in his direction (can we attribute that to the injuries??). He also had 14 pass deflections.
Asante had a 51% success rate, 6.3 yd/attempt, 44% rate against the run, but 12 yd/run in his direction (ouch). He had 17 pass deflections.
So the difference between the two isn't major. Hobbs clearly played with a little bit bigger cushion as his yards per completion was higher, but that's about it. Neither were good against the run.
Fernando Bryant stacks up well:
Obviously, coming from a diff system, the numbers can't be compared directly with Hobbs/Asante, but worth looking at:
45% success rate, 6.5 yd/attempt, 11 pass deflections, 50% success rate stopping the run.
So, allowed a higher completion %, but for less yards, had plenty of deflections and was stronger against the run than the incumbents.
For those that think Ty Law is over the hill, his metrics measure up quite well:
55% success rate, 6.9 yd/attempt, 12 deflections, 2 ints, 5.7 RuYd
One thing that stood out quite a bit, Ty Warren may be even more underrated than we thought and Big Sey did not match the effectiveness of his line-mates...
Warren and Wilfork were 18th and 26th in the league, respectively, with the percentage of stops for plays in their direction. Seymour was down at 47. Specifically against the run, Warren had an 80%, Wilfork was 81% and Sey was 75%. Imagine how dominant this line will be with a healthy Seymour.
The numbers say that Bruschi was [according to these potentially flawed statistics] the least effective backer in the group. He was effective on 56% of the runs in his direction. Specifically take the stats with a grain of salt, the guys on the outside did better than the guys on the inside, maybe thats just part of the system. AD was 64%, both Vrabel and Colvin were 71% and Seau was 61%. Bruschi also had a 33% success rate against the pass, but AD and Seau - both who also played inside - had lower rates there, too, 40% and 53%.
More to come later if anyone is interested...
