To say nothing of this supposed 'winning' on the pass rush and somehow still being just 19th in sacks?

Congrats ESPN, you've managed to come up with a totally worthless stat.
Its been used alot. Its a good stat. Its another tool to judge pass rushers. However its just a small part of how a defense will perform.

We have been good at duressing the pocket for a few years now. However, outside of some strong showings in 2018, it hasn't lead to a strong overall unit

Garrett, Jones, and McClay get blame for agreeing with bad draft decisions.

Marinelli gets blame for making them.

The perpetrator is more responsible for a crime than an accomplice.

But at least he made him sign a work ethic contract...

I think the stat is trash. It certainly offers zero bearing on teams being good or bad, as illustrated by where the successful teams are 'ranked. Their numbers indict their own numbers credibility. I have to love the irony.

And I wonder what the people who tried to trash Robert Quinn on his way out the door have to say about this stat now?

Thats your call, but I see the value in it. Win rate and double rate can show who are over rated and under rated pass rushers.

I dont expect a single stat to be indicative of success or failure of a unit

I expect it to have some sort of correlation and clearly this one doesn't. Therefore it's worthless.

Just heard on 105 3 the fan RJ choppy quote a stat that said the Cowboys pass rush win rate what's 53% which ranked number one in the league. For those who adore Analytics and stats, by this Marinelli may be owed an apology.

This is right up there in the Dak threw for alot of yards stats in an 8-8 season. Meaning less stats. We know the rush win rate was very good but it didn't exactly lead us to wins either. It's a nice stat just like Daks passing yards but ultimately we had other issues that this didn't overcome.

I will give the OP @Dre11 credit for this: He gave us something different to talk about at least for a few hours. Too bad is resulted in one of the worst takes on this forum in years.

It correlates with a teams ability to rush the passer. A strong pass rusher doesnt guarentee a strong defense. If anything reliance on a pass rush was one of Marinelli's downfall as a Coordinator.

Oh and he also got heavily criticized for his last two premium draft picks that he pushed for - Charlton and Hill.

Strong pass rush should correlate into something though, right? Sacks? Turnovers?

It's odd that we are so great at getting after the QB and basically were average or sucked at everything else on defense.
