[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 757402, member: 2299"] It's more that I think the defense is too tied together for a stat to really be able to measure just the front 7 vs just the DBs. Even in a relative sense. For instance if the front 7 can't get any pressure than it's really hard for the DBs to cover and get pass defends or INTs. It works the other way to some degree as well but in general I feel it's much harder for DBs to perform really well if the front 7 plays poorly than the other way around. A DL can force the issue by getting penetration and the ability of the DBs to cover doesn't really affect that. Likewise against the run. But while coverage sacks are a thing the nature of them still requiring the DL/LBs to eventually get to the QB and the potential for the QB just to take off running makes it less reliable. I just don't know how a stat would be able to split the impact between the two like that based on what I know about havoc rate. Don't get me wrong I think our DBs have underperformed this year and if you argued DE was our best defensive group I might have to agree, but I think when most people complain about the front 7 this year it is mostly about the DTs and LBs [/QUOTE]
