Newman or Trufant?

[Skinsmaniac]

Trufant had 15 Passes defended and 7 Ints last year.

Newman had 13 Passes defended and 4 Ints last year.

Cool, thanks. I think that INTs tend to be overrated though, and like the targeted/completions statistic. If I had any money, I would definitely pay for a STATS membership.

Newman only played in 13 games...and some of those were spot duty. FWIW.

I agree. The targeted/completions stat is a nice one.

Their career stats prior to the 2007 season, according to STATS LLC --

[B]
         Targeted    Comp.    Pct.    Yards    TD    INT    PD    Rating[/B]
[B]Newman[/B]        373    170    45.6    2148    12    12    64    61.3
[B]Trufant[/B]        428    248    57.9    3119    24    9    65    90.7

The league appears to fear/respect Newman more, that speaks volumes in itself.

Man I wish Newman wasn't approaching 30 or this wouldn't even be a discussion but long term you have to go with Trufant... BUT right now, it's definitely Newman because teams don't even throw to his side of the field because they know it could go for a quick 6. Keep this mind though, Newman is a supreme athelete so he MIGHT be in the NFL longer than people think, remember Darryl Green?
