Interesting stat summary by Bedard in the Globe.
Patriots season by the numbers - The Boston Globe
Some highlights:
Impact of Anderson and Carter - Sacks in 2010 were 28; 20 sacks in 2011 from Anderson and Carter. Another 31 knockdowns from Anderson (10) and Carter (21), while knockdowns increased from 58 to 83. Carter really thrived with the Patriots.
Missed tackles, however, increased significantly, from 72 to 111, led by 15 from Ninkovich and 12 from Ihedigbo.
The O-line declined in all stats noticeably. Sacks allowed up from 28 to 35. QB pressures up from 81 to 106. Stuffed runs up from 85 to 110. Mankins led the entire team in penalties. Solder gave up 23 QB pressures.
There was a stat showing tackles by percent of time on the field. Leader was not Mayo but Edelman with 23%. If he was on the field, the QB was going his way.
The defense was last in the league preventing big plays - last in plays allowed over 10 yards, last in plays allowed over 20 yards, and a big decline from the previous season.
Insight into some trends from the season.
