i dunno that this is news, its been a constant for a while. we dont really have a ton of superstars, but all of our guys down to 3rd string backups make solid plays.

the one giveaway stat -- take a look at the league's regular season missed tackle numbers... only 1 team has less than 100.

The Cubes are solid...no doubt. And I'd kill to run a defense with few missed tackles

no love for QB Bills

i thinks sacks are the perfect example of a non-team stat.

it takes 1 really good sack specialist to boost your team's sack numbers... whereas it takes an entire team of sure tacklers to keep a team's miss tackles down.

with your LB, 46 sacks is huge. but the bigger numbers to me are 61 tackles and 15 misses. if you were on the cubes, your 15 misses would be leading the team.

sacks (or more specifically, blitzes) can also be game planned around. but how do you game plan around "everyone on the team can tackle" :]

yep it makes setting up the D a whole lot easier. i just need to put guys in the right place, and let them do their work.

I'm looking forward to seeing you gameplan around Zeta Having a guy that can sack at will makes it tougher to gameplan around...is the blitzer coming hard all game? Is he never coming? If you play around the blitz and it never comes...its trouble. If you don't play the blitz and it comes it's trouble. So I think it adds to the degree of difficulty (that is unless the DC doesn't mix things up). Just because Zeta may not get 5 sacks against you guys, doesn't mean she didn't do her job

And also to be fair...I think you had the least # of chances to make tackles as well...so you will have lower than average missed tackles. Defense is still solid though!

Kind of in a lull this post season, though. Barely averaging 2.3 FFum/playoff game so far.

i agree, but thats a different point. i'm saying that you CAN game plan for it -- whether or not its successful is a different matter.

whereas you CANT game plan for a team of good tacklers. except maybe change play intensity from normal to hard

i stand by my numbers, even in your "fair" view. if you include the # of chances, ratio-wise we miss 1 tackle for every 10.6 made.

compared to the next top teams:
- vern = 9.4
- sin = 7.8
- ratels = 7.2
- kosovo = 6.5
- holland = 6.6
- bss = 6.6

you can see the same in the playoffs. if you count the 4 CCG teams:
- cubes = 12.5
- sin = 8.5
- vern = 4.8
- bss = 3.9

I like the ratio comparison a lot better...I think it means a lot more!
