keggerz Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I did some digging on the Texans due to the week 1 performance of Diles. Here is what I found: Last year the Texans faced 198 3rd downs(198 in 06 and 196 in 05) Tackle opportunities dont exactly equal 198 since incomplete passes dont give you a real chance for a tackle(yeah a sack would be a tackle) With that said I went thru every 3rd down play for the Texans last yr and found that their LBs only made 37 solos and 5 assists on 3rd downs. fwiw, thats just over 2 tackles/game for the Texans LBs to share on 3rd downs. I hope I can dig much deeper and delve into more teams to try and come up with a % of tackles that occur on 3rd downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
