Assortment of League-Leading Stats

[percyhoward]

Disclaimer: The most important stat of all is one that we don't lead the league in -- points per drive differential. Offense is 3rd (it was 4th last year), and amazingly the defense ranks 11th (it was 30th last year). The Cowboys' differential ranks 5th.

[Joe Realist]

Better get Randle and Dunbar more carries before Murray gets banged up.

 

[iceberg]

Loving it!

 

[SHAMSzy]

Nice stat on Romo 2nd half QB rating

I'm sensing a change in the force and our future.

Like 2nd half passer rating and dropped passes

 

[SHAMSzy]

Romo, 1st Half Week 1
10 of 14 99 yds 7.1 ypa 0 TD 3 INT 51.5

Since
72 of 104 837 yds 8.0 ypa 7 TD 1 INT 111.7

Even better

 

[sureletsrace]

The biggest stat to me is "3rd down conversions in the 4th quarter".

We're closing games out successfully.

 

[RS12]

Rushes of 10+ Yards
1 Dal 22

equals= opening massive holes, not blowing assignments, and finishing and sticking to blocks.

 

[CCBoy]

Thanks, Percy...got any linebacker, defensive line, and secondary stats? I would love to watch some of your trends there!!

 

[CCBoy]

Percy, on a signature win...these pretty well stand out as well:

Virtually mistake-free football

• No turnovers

• 57% third-down conversion rate

• 100% red-zone efficiency

• 5.4 yard rushing average

• 76% passing completion percentage

[Idgit]

Thanks for the offensive/defensive points per drive data in particular. It paints a pretty clear picture. Great to see us in the top ten in terms of differential. And almost in the too ten defensively. That's better than I'd have hoped for after four games.

 

[adbutcher]

Better get Randle and Dunbar more carries before Murray gets banged up.

Are you hoping or praying?

 

[panchucko]

Murry better gets Emmits masseuse, i remember Emmit said he had a weekly massage

 

[DogFace]

These are all good strong signs of what we've all been waiting for.

 

[Risen Star]

Our offense was 4th last year and 3rd this year in Percy's most important stat PPD?

How can that be? Scott Linehan wasn't here.
