Tag: Max Cubberley

Taking as his starting point James ‘Goody’ Goodson’s first 2 rounds of mock draft, Max Cubberley, erstwhile GM of the Champions of the Sun franchise has taken it upon himself to continue the simulation and mock draft rounds 3 & 4. So without further ado, let us begin…

3.01 – Dynahard – Marcus Mariota (QB – TEN)
With two premium skill position players in the bag already Dynahard may find the value of Marcus Mariota too much to pass at the top of the third round. Although Matthew Stafford and Eli Manning between them should be able to put up a decent season next year it would be a boon to have a QB with more consistency to slot in at the top of the roster and Mariota may become that in time.

3.02 – 4th Dynmension of Sadness – Jay Ajayi (RB – MIA)
How many running backs do the Dynasty of Sadness need to draft? How many do you have? Despite health concerns, Ajayi is the most talented skill position player left at this point who can make an immediate impact. This should be a no-brainer, particularly with Lamar Miller entering a contract year.

3.03 – Here Comes The Brees – Vic Beasley (DE – ATL)
With needs all over the shop at the Brees it may seem odd to go with back-to-back picks at defensive end after taking Dante Fowler Jr. in the 2nd but you need to play 2 DEs in this league and the Brees didn’t have 1 that cracked 100 points last year. Sure, maybe Michael Bennett had a down year and Fletcher Cox is still improving but I’d want a piece of that Dan Quinn defence if I was the Brees.

3.04 – The Tamworth Two – Hau’oli Kikoha (LB – NOS)
The Tamworth Two have a pretty strong roster with Amari Copper and David Cobb already adding talent and depth to the skill positions in round 1. The glaring hole is at LB and while it may seem strange to take Kikoha with the likes of Dupree, Kendricks and Anthony (all drafted above him) on the board, Kikoha is the most pro-ready pass rusher in the class and one who can make an immediate impact in New Orleans.

3.05 – Champions of the Sun – Philip Dorsett (WR – IND)
With both of Smokin’ Jay Cutler’s potential replacements off the board by this time, the Champions need to look to other needs. Although they could use more running back help, the number of backs taken so far has left that field lagging behind the receiver talent. For that reason it becomes a case of taking the best on the board. The Colts have to pay Andrew Luck soon and there’s a good chance they let TY Hilton walk at the end of the season. If that happens Philip Dorsett could become a top target for one of the top QBs in the league.

3.06 – DynaForOne Firebirds – Eric Kendricks (LB – MIN)
The Firebirds love to hit the field with a pair of beastly DTs up front and with the recruitment of Leonard Williams in the first round they can certainly do that. Looking at the rest of the roster shows a need at running back and linebacker. With the running back well looking a little dry, it’s time to bolster the defence further and Eric Kendricks goes here. A combination of his natural ability and the chance to join a Mike Zimmer defence means that Kendricks could be an absolute tackle machine in Minnesota and a steady weekly scorer for the ‘Birds.

3.07 – KDPBNDR – Malcolm Brown (DT – NEP)
Relying on Jay Ratliff for your production at defensive tackle is not a good place to be in. Although the big guy produced last season it’s an obvious depth-need for the Rules. The two most-likely contributors have already gone and taking a run-stuffer like Malcolm Brown is a little risky but with Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich and Dominique Easley causing trouble around him he should be able to get penetration into the backfield and make some nice tackles for loss and even a couple of sacks. He has the potential to be beast at the heart of a good defence for years to come.

3.08 – Dynasore Losers – Jeremy Langford (RB – CHI)
Duke Johnson addresses the lack of RB depth at the Losers to some extent but it’s an obvious problem that you can’t really throw enough solutions at. There are a few options on the board here but Jeremy Langford is the stand-out for the Losers, being both an explosive talent and also at least a partial handcuff for Matt Forte if he goes down.

3.09 – Here Comes The Brees – Devin Smith (WR – NYJ)
With the defensive ends taken care of and a plug-and-play running back it’s time to address those holes at wide receiver. Whilst there may be some choices out there that could make a more immediate impact than Devin Smith, the Jets’ new deep threat has big play potential and could easily move alongside Eric Decker at the head of the depth chart by the end of the year with Brandon Marshall’s age and health concerns. It’s an upside pick but the payoff could be worth the gamble.

3.10 – DynaForOne Firebirds – Landon Collins (S – NYG)
This is the only defensive back you’ll see me suggesting taking in this mock report. To be honest, I didn’t even do much research into them, I have no intention of drafting any. What I do know though is that Landon Collins is a big, fast, aggressive safety who’s gone to a team where I could probably get a game at safety. He should be a day 1 starter for the Giants and could be a top 20 fantasy safety in his first season easily.

4.01 – Dynahard – Jeff Heuerman (TE – DEN)
This draft class is very shallow for tight ends but Dynahard are in some pretty dire straits with their current situation at the position. With Maxx Williams off the board already, Jeff Heuerman is the only prospect worth looking at left but could be a great pickup. He comes into a great offence in Denver, one that’s just lost its starting TE. He is in a good position to buck the usual trend of tight ends not performing in their first season and his full stud potential.

4.02 – 4th Dynmension of Sadness – Randy Gregory (DE – DAL)
Having taken nearly every running back available in the draft already it’s time for a change, although not that much of one. The defensive line is a position of great need for the Sadness and there is better value at end than at tackle here. Randy Gregory has some character questions but all the talent in the world and will enjoy working with Rod Marinelli in Dallas. Plus the Sadness love a Cowboy.

4.03 – East Flanders Dungeoneers – Jaelen Strong (WR – HOU)
Welcome to the later rounds, Dungeoneers! Even with Kevin White already on-board the Flanders crew need more help at WR and Jaelen Strong figures to make an immediate impact in Houston playing across from De’Andre Hopkins. The ceiling on Strong may be a bit lower than some but he’s a nice bridging piece, particularly in the 4th round.

4.04 – Tamworth Two – Bud Dupree (LB – PIT)
At this point the Tamworth Two’s biggest need is safety but, as mentioned above, I don’t see another safety in the draft that’s worth passing on a prospect at a more stable position. With that in mind the Two take Bud Dupree here. Between him and Kikaha in the round before there should be at least one good fantasy pass rusher going forward, even if Dupree doesn’t figure to make as much immediate impact in Pittsburgh.

4.05 – Here Comes the Brees – Devin Funchess (WR – CAR)
Synergy is a glorious thing so why not take a pair of Devins back-to-back? The Brees need all the help they can get at WR as fast as possible so, with that in mind, Funchess comes off the board here. If Devin Smith has a high ceiling but a low floor for the season ahead, Funchess is the opposite. He may not have the upside of Smith but he comes into a team with a good QB who need help at receiver. With Kelvin Benjamin taking the strongest corner on the defence, Funchess may be able to bully his match up and leave the season with a good few scores.

4.06 – Dynablaster Bombermen – Stephone Anthony (LB – NOS)
After sleeping in and missing round 3 due to their feasting in the first two rounds, the Bombermen finally join the party again midway through the 4th. One of the favourites for the season to come, the Bombermen have already addressed a lot of issues in the first two rounds and can afford to look at the best players left on the board. Stephone Anthony answers a slight need at linebacker and figures to be an integral part of the Saints offence from week 1, racking up tackles.

4.07 – KDPBNDR – Chris Conley (WR – KCC)
Taking a Kansas City wide receiver as famous for his home-made Star Wars movie as his ball skills is just the type of maverick move we’d expect from Kelkowski. Conley has some questions over his hands and his productivity in college but has great size and blazing speed to do damage after the catch from Alex Smith’s noodley 5 yard slants. You don’t like taking any Kansas receiver but Conley is going straight into competition for a starting spot opposite Maclin and is worth a gamble.

4.08 – Dynasore Losers – Michael Bennett (DT – JAC)
Have I lost my mind? A defensive tackle drafted in the 6th round of the real draft taken in the 4th?! A defensive tackle drafted by the Jags no less?! Maybe it’s just me but I love the skills and the fit for Bennett in Jacksonville. Gus Bradley gets a hell of a rush from his guys and Bennett figures to be a dangerous interior pass rusher, which is what you want from your fantasy tackle position. Sure, maybe there’s a reason he slipped down the board but there’s also a chance you’ve got the closest thing this year’s draft has to Aaron Donald.

4.09 – Champions of the Sun – Javorius Allen (RB – BAL)
In a year that’s weak on exciting names, Javorius Allen is a solid effort. More than that he comes into a strong Baltimore running game with a far from certain future. Allen is unlikely to get ahead of Justin Forsett this season, barring injury, but at this point in the draft taking more depth at RB is the obvious choice for the Champions and Allen is the last RB left on the board that has significant upside.

4.10 – DynaForOne Firebirds – Nate Orchard (DE – CLE)
The Firebirds need no help on offence and having taken a tackle, a linebacker and a safety so far it’s time to look at defensive end. It was a tough call here between Orchard and Preston Smith in Washington. Either would be a good pick but the Browns are needier on the line so I think Orchard will see more immediate impact.

4.11 – Dynahard – Justin Hardy (WR – ATL)
For the first of our supplemental picks Dynahard pick up a player that has flown under the radar of many. Sure, Roddy White and Julio Jones are ahead of Hardy on the depth chart but he figures to work his way into the starting position at the slot on a pass-happy offence. Hardy’s a tough runner with good routes and hands. He’s unlikely to ever be a fantasy stud but he could be a solid WR3 for a good number of years and there’s value in that too.

4.12 – 4th Dynmension of Sadness – Bernardrick McKinney (LB – HOU)
No, you’re not hallucinating. It took until a supplemental pick in the 4th round but the Sadness have taken a player that isn’t a running back or a defensive end. McKinney walks into a Texans team desperate for help at ILB. The knock on him is that he may be no more than two-down run-stopping bruiser due to weak coverage skills but if you look down the list of interior linebackers that’s a common concern. McKinney has the best position of the other options, playing for a good defence.

4.13 – Dynablaster Bombermen – Lorenzo Maudlin (LB – NYJ)
Bringing up the rear it’s the Bombermen, picking up another linebacker to help out. There’s no science to this, Maudlin is the best choice left on the board. The Jets are going to be blitzing until the cows come home this season and they have no outside pass rushers to speak of. Maudlin is their answer to that problem and there’s a chance he turns into a sack beast over the next few seasons in a Todd Bowles defence. His talent ceiling may not be up to it, time will tell, but I like the possibilities.

Proposed Scoring Changes for 2015

November 15, 2014

League Business No Comments

Mr Maxwell H Cubberley has contributed a suggestion for amendments to the scoring for the DynaBowl Fantasy Football Championships 2015 onwards. If you would care to read his words, they will follow shortly.

Now, in fact.

Binning the Big Plays: Proposed Scoring Changes for 2015

Big Plays

As anyone who has been on the receiving end of an 80 yard pick 6 or a double strip-sack game from a DE will likely tell you about (at length) the Dynabowl IDP game is currently dominated by big plays. Each INT or FF is worth 10 points, each defensive TD is worth 6 points and all return yards on fumbles and interceptions are valued at 0.1 per 1 [NB – only INT yards are counted – ed]. The aforementioned 80 yard pick 6 currently nets your CB 24 points for that one play. This is particularly painful as INTs are often quite random and not much to do with particularly good play from a CB or S. Meanwhile, a strip-sack is worth 15 points (16 if you’re a DT) and that’s not including the possibility of your strip-sacker recovering it (3 more points) and returning it for a TD. Somewhere lurking out there is a 34 point strip-sack, 100 yard fumble recovery TD. Probably for JJ Watt. I’m surprised he hasn’t done it already.

Bearing this in mind there have been several solutions proposed to try and even out some of the scoring. Below are the proposed rule changes for 2015:

The point return for INTs and FFs to be reduced from 10 to 6 for all players
The points for INT and FF recovery yards to be reduced to the same as punt return yards (0.05 per 1 rather than 0.1 per 1)
The points for passes defended (possibly a more accurate gauge of defensive backs’ skills) to be increased from 2 to 3 for CBs and Ss and 1 to 2 for everyone else.

Evening Out the Linebackers

Anyone who based their pre-draft rankings of LBs on those suggested by popular IDP sites might be slightly confused as to why their LB corps isn’t producing as expected. This is because most IDP leagues are tackle-based, giving plenty of points for tackles and less for sacks, FFs and INTs. Our league is a big play league, focussed on those game-changing moments and the players who make them. For all that there seems to be too much of a disparity between middle linebackers (those players for whom tackling is their bread-and-butter) and outside linebackers (more of the edge rushers looking to hit the QB in the backfield). With the tackle points as low as they are it’s difficult for all but the most elite MLBs to compete with their outside compatriots.

With that in mind, a second rule change has been proposed, to slightly increase the points scored by solo tackles. The idea is not to swing the league from a big play league to a tackle-heavy league, but just to allow a few more MLBs to ease towards the top of the LB rankings and even the distribution out a little. The proposed change is:

Points for solo tackles (not assists) to be increased from 0.5 points per tackle to 0.75 points per tackle.

Over the course of a 100 solo tackle season (a very good but not outstanding season) that equates to 25 more points.

The Difference

To try and illustrate what difference this would make I’ve crunched it all into MFL and can present the difference as it would have pertained to the 2013 season. I’ll compare both the new points system and the old points system to look for the difference.

Top 100 Breakdown

Here is a breakdown of the top 100 scorers in 2013 by position. This should show how the points changes affect the make-up of the top bracket of scorers.

Position	Top 100 Players – Old Points	Top 100 Players – New Points
QB	26	26
RB	20	19
WR	21	20
TE	3	3
PK	0	0
PN	0	0
DT	4	4
DE	4	3
LB	16	20
CB	3	2
S	3	3

This indicates a very slight increase in the value of LBs (though 2 of the additional 4 were numbers 99 and 100 in the top 100).

To look at the IDP players in more detail, I’ll breakdown just the top 100 defensive players.

Position	Top 100 IDPs – Old Points	Top 100 IDPs – New Points
DT	11	10
DE	18	16
LB	38	39
CB	17	21
S	16	14

Again, the changes seem fairly minimal in terms of the split amongst the positions. Going deeper, CBs receive a bit of a boost and Ss a small hit (presumably due to a higher number of pass defence opportunities than Ss) but the broad make up is the same.

The indication is that these changes don’t make a huge difference to the proportional make-up of the overall top 100 and the IDP top 100. They shouldn’t cause one position to become more valuable going forward than it was at the draft.

Specific Player Value

There are still two checks to make. The first is specific player value. Sure, maybe CBs as a whole aren’t more valuable but what if the top 10 CBs under the new points are 10 completely different players? What if the #1 DT is now the #10? Below is the top 10 at each defensive position under the new points and the old. Their position in the opposite points scoring system is also included for reference.

Defensive Tackle	Position – Old Pts	Position – New Pts	Shift
Kyle Williams, BUF	1 (204.5)	1 (212)	= (+7.5)
Gerald McCoy, TBB	2 (180.25)	2 (193.6)	= (+13.35)
Nick Fairley, DET	3 (172)	3 (171.2)	= (-0.8)
Ndamukong Suh, DET	4 (152)	4 (163)	= (+11)
Marcell Dareus, BUF	5 (134)	5 (144.25)	= (+10.25)
Cullen Jenkins, NYG	6 (122)	10 (120.25)	-4 (-1.75)
Sen’Derrick Marks, JAX	7 (118.25)	6 (126)	+1 (+7.75)
Jared Odrick, MIA	7 (118.25)	7 (124.75)	= (+6.5)
Clinton McDonald, SEA	9 (115.8)	11 (118.4)	-2 (+2.6)
Michael Brockers, STL	10 (115)	9 (120.5)	+1 (+5.5)
Kendall Langford, STL	12 (109.25)	8 (122.25)	+4 (+13)

No huge changes here which would be expected as DTs don’t have as many FFs as LBs and DEs and rarely catch INTs. Any loss of points from FFs seems to have been compensated for with the tackle bump with most coming out a few points better over the course of the season. Although Cullen Jenkins drops 4 places in the ranks he actually only ends up 1.75 points down under the new points.

Defensive End	Position – Old Pts	Position – New Pts	Shift
Robert Quinn, STL	1 (250.75)	1 (237.9)	= (-12.85)
JJ Watt, HOU	2 (191.75)	2 (199)	= (+7.25)
Justin Tuck, NYG	3 (145)	4 (147.15)	-1 (+2.15)
Greg Hardy, CAR	4 (144.5)	3 (151.25)	+1 (+6.75)
Muhammed Wilkerson, NYJ	5 (138.85)	8 (140.3)	-3 (+1.45)
Cameron Jordan, NOS	6 (138)	7 (142.55)	-1 (+4.55)
Chandler Jones, NEP	7 (137.25)	6 (143.25)	+1 (+6)
Calais Campbell, ARI	8 (133.5)	5 (146.85)	+3 (+13.35)
Carlos Dunlap, CIN	9 (132.75)	10 (134.6)	-1 (+1.85)
Jared Allen, MIN	10 (130.75)	9 (137)	+1 (+6.25)

Like DT, DE doesn’t show too many major shifts here. The same 10 players make up the top 10 under both the new and the old systems and although there is some shuffling of positions (Wilkerson and Campbell particularly) the actual season ending point totals don’t shift drastically with most seeing an increase of 1 to 7 and only sack-machine Robert Quinn seeing a reduction.

Because we all start 3 or 4 LBs I’ll compare the top 20 at this position. I’ve also noted (where I can) when the player is an MLB or an OLB (we should be looking for MLBs to move up the rankings in the new points).

Linebacker	Position – Old Pts	Position – New Pts	Shift
Robert Mathis, IND – OLB	1 (242)	3 (221.75)	-2 (-20.25)
Lavonte David, TBB – MLB	2 (232.95)	1 (235.85)	+1 (+1.9)
Karlos Dansby, ARI – MLB	3 (199.05)	2 (223.65)	+1 (+24.6)
Navorro Bowman, SF – MLB	4 (198.55)	4 (208.4)	= (+9.85)
Jerell Freeman, IND – MLB	5 (185.05)	5 (180.35)	= (-4.7)
Alec Ogletree, STL – OLB	6 (173.55)	8 (173.4)	-2 (-0.15)
Tamba Hali, KCC – OLB	7 (167.75)	12 (158.3)	-5 (-9.45)
Daryl Smith, BAL – MLB	8 (165.1)	6 (176.3)	+2 (+11.2)
Kiko Alonso, BUF – MLB	9 (158.3)	10 (163.8)	-1 (+5.5)
John Abraham, ARI – OLB	10 (155.5)	18 (150.25)	-8 (-5.25)
DeAndre Levy, DET – MLB	11 (155.1)	11 (163.55)	= (+8.45)
Paul Posluszny, JAX – MLB	12 (152.4)	7 (176.2)	+5 (+23.8)
Mychal Kendricks, PHI – MLB	13 (152.25)	13 (156.55)	= (+4.3)
Danny Trevathan, DEN – MLB	14 (149.9)	15 (155.45)	-1 (+5.55)
Vontaze Burfict, CIN – MLB	15 (144.95)	9 (173.25)	+6 (+23.3)
Nick Roach, OAK – OLB	16 (144.75)	20 (148.25)	-4 (+3.5)
Ryan Kerrigan, WAS – OLB	17 (143.75)	22 (142.5)	-5 (-1.25)
Luke Kuechly, CAR – MLB	18 (142.55)	16 (155.15)	+2 (+12.6)
Brian Orakpo, WAS – OLB	19 (136.65)	21 (145.95)	-2 (+9.3)
Thomas Davis, CAR – OLB	20 (136)	17 (153.15)	+3 (+17.15)
Derrick Johnson, KCC – MLB	21 (134.4)	14 (155.5)	+7 (+21.1)
DeMeco Ryans, PHI – MLB	25 (126.85)	19 (149.05)	+6 (+22.2)

The change to the points can clearly be seen here with OLBs that rack up pressures and FFs (e.g. Mathis, Hali, Abraham) taking a hit and prime tacklers (e.g. Posluszny, Dansby, Burfict) getting a significant boost. Although this was the desired effect the fact that, even in the old system, 12 of the top 20 LBs were MLBs already does seem to call into question the need for this change. The 2014 stats paint a picture of a system that heavily favours OLBs but that could be a result of the number of injuries to or change in situations of big scoring MLBs.

I’ll show the CB and S tables back to back as I would expect both to be affected similarly by this change.

Corner Back	Position – Old Pts	Position – New Pts	Shift
Brandon Boykin, PHI	1 (159.475)	3 (147.675)	-2 (-11.8)
DeAngelo Hall, WAS	2 (157.65)	1 (158.2)	+1 (+1.55)
Richard Sherman, SEA	3 (151.95)	5 (139.2)	-2 (-12.75)
Alterraun Verner, TEN	4 (142.275)	2 (154.575)	+2 (+12.3)
Tim Jennings, CHI	5 (138.1)	8 (133.55)	-3 (-4.55)
Tramon Williams, GBP	6 (135.5)	4 (141.25)	+2 (+5.75)
Captain Munnerlyn, CAR	7 (130.85)	6 (138.55)	+1 (+7.7)
Corey Graham, BUF	8 (121.55)	14 (124.9)	-6 (+3.35)
Logan Ryan, NEP	9 (119.7)	32 (108.85)	-23 (-10.85)
Adam Jones, CIN	10 (118.9)	12 (126.8)	-2 (+7.9)
Lardarius Webb, BAL	19 (106.8)	7 (136.6)	+12 (+29.8)
Leodis McKelvin, BUF	26 (101.6)	9 (128.35)	+17 (+26.75)
Joe Haden, CLE	12 (115.95)	10 (127.85)	+2 (+11.9)
Safety	Position – Old Pts	Position – New Pts	Shift
Eric Berry, KCC	1 (165.65)	1 (170.65)	= (+5)
Troy Polamalu, PIT	2 (161.35)	3 (155.05)	-1 (-6.3)
Antrel Rolle, NYG	3 (160.8)	2 (163)	+1 (+2.2)
Michael Mitchell, CAR	4 (141.55)	9 (135.9)	-5 (-5.65)
William Moore, ATL	5 (139.35)	7 (138.05)	-2 (+1.3)
Tashaun Gipson, CLE	6 (137.55)	6 (138.15)	= (+0.6)
Earl Thomas, SEA	7 (130.85)	11 (128.95)	-4 (-1.9)
TJ Ward. CLE	8 (126.95)	4 (144.4)	+4 (+17.45)
Barry Church, DAL	9 (126.5)	5 (144.1)	+4 (+17.6)
James Ihedigbo, BAL	10 (123.15)	10 (130.7)	= (+7.55)
Eric Weddle, SDC	12 (118.75)	8 (136.55)	+4 (+17.8)

As you can see the changes are much more impactful on the CB position than the S position. At CB there are big positive swings for the likes of Webb (2 INT, 23 passes defended) and McKelvin (1 INT and 20 PD) and big negative swings for such as Sherman (8 INT and 6 PD) and Ryan (5 INT and 10 PD). This is what you’d expect from the rules. It’s also worth noting that although Logan Ryan lost 23 ranks, he actually only scored 10.85 points less under the new points. In general, the points seem to bunch CBs a bit more towards the top which I think reflects the reduced wild-card factor of INTs over steady pass defending.

It is worth mentioning, at this point, that CB is an incredibly volatile position from year-to-year anyway. None of last year’s top 10 CBs are in this year’s current top 10 CBs. In fact, only Adam Jones and Alterraun Verner are even in this year’s top 32 CBs.

Oddly, at Safety the changes are nowhere near as large. Possibly this is a result of Safeties having more all-round play capability or maybe it’s a reflection of the fact that Safety interceptions are more skill-based. At any rate, there are a few changes, notably bumps for TJ Ward and Barry Church (both had a notably higher number of solo tackles than those around them), but nothing too major.

Summary of Findings

It’s noticeable, looking through the week-by-week performances of players, that these changes, overall, raise the floor and lower the ceiling of IDP production. What was a 40 point game is often now a 30 point game and what was a 3 point game is now a 5 point game. The average points per game and total season points, in general, trends slightly upwards with the bottom-end of players brought a bit closer to the top-end whilst still keeping elite levels of performance for top players.

Some players whose games are built around big plays have taken something of a hit but, in most cases, this is not hugely significant and shows more in comparative score rankings than in actual point production. The reduction of big plays and increase in passes defended seems to have had the desired effect, reducing scoring ceilings but not overall scores and not reducing the CB and S points-scoring. Although the big changes at CB look scary, as mentioned above, the position tends to turn over a lot from year-to-year anyway. If anything, these new changes may make the position more reliable as tackle numbers and pass defence numbers are more consistent year to year than INTs and FFs.

The question of the increase in points for tackles is hazier. The proportion of MLBs and OLBs in the top ranks of the position could be a natural seasonal fluctuation. It doesn’t make a massive difference to the overall points-scoring at the LB position (with only the same small upward trend seen in every position). The new system produces a better balance between very steady LBs with big tackle production and those who get sacks, FFs and INTs. In the current system, a player has to make 10 solo tackles to score the equivalent of a sack. In the new system they have to make 7. The latter seems more in line to me with what one would consider a ‘good game’ but everyone can make their own mind up.

If you want me to produce more information to look at this just ask.
