[QUOTE="JorgeJonas, post: 373737, member: 2171"] The issue with a lot of this is that it presumes there’s a skill to perform certain things in the clutch - however that’s defined - that isn’t present in other aspects of the game. The sacks issue is almost certainly related to skill, but that’s perhaps why people are irritated with Roof - that he didn’t do enough to help generate pressure if his front four couldn’t get home by themselves. The fumbles recovered metric means nothing to me; it’s almost exclusively luck. The interceptions issue is meaningless without more information about how many passes were thrown and our rate of intercepting them related to other teams. I tend to find it hard to believe that for four games last year we figured out how to intercept passes and then forgot this year. There’s probably a better explanation. Perhaps it’s related to the cushion the corners give, or something like that. Though then the question becomes how many big plays (20+ yards) did we give up. Everything is a trade off. I guess what I’m saying is that there isn’t a silver bullet here. 22 people on the field makes hard to isolate variables. [/QUOTE]
