Vela: Source: Jones at CB Probably Sooner Than Later

[theogt]

I think the discuss you recall was about whether yards per attempt was a good indicator of CB quality -- and I thought we both agreed that something like passer rating - i.e., a statistic that gave credit for ints and penalized for TDs given up as well as YPA - would be better.

I wouldn't call Henry an INT machine -- he's got 3 more than Newman over the last 3 years. He sure looked that way early last season though.

Right. I just recall you saying that if you had to choose between INTs per attempt and Yards per Attempt, you'd pick the former. FYI, you were correct that INTs has a higher regression coefficient than YPA.

He didn't play any safety in the dime (and we don't play nickel).

huh? what are you talking about? dont play any nickel? what?

they clearly made reference to him playing inside in the nickel/dime defenses during the OTA"s and mini camp
