I fully agree with you, but fyi, Cam completed 77% of his passes against the Jets in their first matchup last year (and 79% against the Dolphins in their first matchup).
Agree. The Pats do have a lot of long developing runs and run fakes. If you're playing a penetrating defense that can present opportunities for the defense to get TFL/pressure/sacks. That said, if blocked well - it can immediately turn into a huge run because it creates the ability to "turn" the DL and prevent pursuit.
I was responding to 2002 and 2005 proving tackle numbers are misleading.
So are we not allowed to make fun of Payton Manning any more for passing for TDs from inside the five yard line? Just asking for a friend.
I would posit TFL are a positive LB "tackling stat", but can also lack context as it's often the DL that facilitates one.
Yes and TFL is a small representation of the job of a Lb, plus the system they play on influences the opportunity (as well as the opportunity to get gashed by guessing wrong) to do so.
McDaniels really should’ve taken that Colts job because he’s coaching himself out of another job. Also, I think what he did to the Colts has backfired among Owners as nobody takes him serious to wanting the job.
In two games, they limited their opponents to 17 and 6 point. I know people want the defense to lock down every play, but somehow I don’t think the defense is the problem. It seems like the OL, which makes the run game stall, and which allows Mac to not have enough time is the real problem.
I believe that players are only allowed to have 1 helmet unless the shell breaks. But they don't typically have spares on the sidelines..
