Cardinals Message Board Thoughts

[kmd24]

The Cowboys defense is on the field less than most other defenses in the NFL. So other defense will have more total tackles than the 'boys will.

That's not the biggest factor. Dallas only plays one fewer defensive snap per game than Arizona.

The biggest factor is that the Dallas CB's are great tacklers. Anthony Henry probably has more tackles than all of the Arizona CB's combined. Newman adds another 25. When other guys on the defense make plays, it cuts into Roy's stats.

You could look at Wilson's tackle stats as an indictment of the rest of the Cards defense.

A turnover is something an offense does. The defense doesn't possess the football, so how can it have a turnover stat?

to-may-to, to-mah-to

Speaking of fruits, your comparison is apples and oranges.


Not even remotely similiar.


And a defense can CREATE a turnover, or CAUSE a turnover. But the offense is the one that POSSESSES the ball. Even if a DB gets an int, the defense turns into the offense while they POSSESS the football.

Time of Possession = the amount of time the offense POSSESSES the football. And there's no tomAYtoes or toMAHtoes involved in that.

 

[Rack]

the stats given appear to relate to OPPONENTS AVG. TIME OF POSSESSION - as the discussion clearly centered around defense. let's not elevate hair-splitting to an artform.

You know there's a much easier way to get your sig centered, and w/o the lines.

Thoughts? I think this guy might be nuts. Roy is having an awesome year.

If giving up huge plays at the end of games and dropping interceptions is an "awesome" year, then i'd hate to see a bad year.

You make obstinance an art form.

The best rushing defense is often measured in terms of the number of yards rushing gained by the opposing offense, despite the fact that the defense never actually rushes with the football.

It stands to reason that a defense can also be measured by the amount of time that the opposing offense does something else, such as possess the football.

It's not a foreign concept to most people. You are a smart guy and obviously understand this. As such, I must conclude that you are more interested in arguing than actually making a point.
