Default Linebacker Stat.....

Blew me away:

Quote:
Because linebackers so often defend passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage, tracking how many yards after the catch a linebacker allows can provide a clear picture as to how many yards the pass-catcher is adding after the catch with the linebacker in coverage. Indianapolis Colts’ Anthony Walker led the aforementioned group of linebackers [49 off the ball linebackers] with his 4.41 YAC per reception allowed average.
Other notable:

- SEA Bobby Wagner led tackling efficiency by missing only 1 tackle in 139 tackle attempts.

- CAR Luke Kuechly led in run stops logging 39 stops (less than 45% of yards needed to move the chains on 1st down, less than 60% of yards needed to move the chains on 2nd downs, or preventing a 1st down on 3rd or 4th down) on 325 run defense snaps.

- BUF Matt Milano led in allowed QB passer rating allowed (67.0) on all linebackers with over 300 attempts.

That is some nice read and run skills as Walker has to diagnose the play AND have the speed and angle to limit the YAC of the receivers.

Again, Walker is "fine" as our MLB but we should always be looking out for a "great" one to pair with Leonard with Walker as a good SSLB / LB3 if we are going to be playing a big safety-3 package a lot.

Walk Worthy,
