OT tackles allowing only 7% pressure rate

Blame them for what? It’s not like he’s played bad this year……anyone honest would say it’s the D.

I struggle understanding people blaming Dak when the defense is RIGHT THERE

Its like blaming Jared Goff when Detroits defense is actually worse than Dallas

Right lol. I hate when people do that lol. If anything people complain about the run blocking. Dak has been up and down but hasn’t been bad. They just have to force Dak in every conversation.

People do that with Goff too and I don’t get it. I guess it’s because they don’t have rushing yards but Goff is damn good too.

They are always saying he is under constant pressure.

When there is pressure, I think a lot of it is the TEs.

He is under pressure at times just like every other qb. Steele is constantly on skates even with help but i don’t think he’s been as bad people say.

this cant be . the dak apologists blame the OL .

No Dak apologist has said this you guys just wait to force Dak in everything. The story of the year is how bad the defense is. The offense has been solid.

just goes to show that while PFF once upon a time might have had some value
its gone now

They don't have the "eye test" as a viable stat.

This data comes from NFL Pro, which is the NFLs data arm that uses Next Gen stats so there’s actually good tech behind it, but it lacks a human element. They track microchips in shoulder pads and the ball. Here’s how they define a pressure.

• A Pressure: This is an umbrella term. A play is flagged as a pressure if a defender executes a sack, a QB hit, a hurry (getting within 1.5 yards), OR if the defender is within 2 yards of the quarterback at the exact split-second the ball leaves the passer's hand.

PFF
As to the more commonly cited PFF, it can’t be trusted. Cris Collinsworth, the principal owner, sold all of their tech to Teamworks and then fired almost all their employees.

PFF is now essentially a zombie shell company that pays Teamworks to feed that data into its AI managed website.

Teamworks didn’t hire any of rhe actual analysts and quality control people in the deal. They just have a bunch of entry level contractors working from home, churning out the grades as fast as possible.

Sports Information Systems (SIS)

If you want human graded film study with legit football people doing it, you want SIS

If you want scientific data collection, using tech like microchips in shoulder pads and the football, you want Next Gen Stats (NFL Pro)

Both are much better than PFF
