[QUOTE="GleefulGary, post: 761149, member: 12583"] Problem is most people measure impact based on stats, because, well...it's really all we have. For the average fan, of which I certainly am, we don't know their assignments, we just say he made a play or he didn't, he's good or bad...very little in-between. Anyways, my point is that for example, Blake Martinez had a great stats year based on tackles, but how often do we point to that being because of Kenny Clark, Mike Daniels and Lowry? How many sacks did other guys get because of interior push or because of Matthews? How many sacks did Matthews get because of other guys? Did Martinez filling the A-gap push the RB outside into the open arms of Matthews? These are things that we just don't look at, and don't have the film/knowledge to see either. My point is simply that we shouldn't just use basic stats to say a guy is good or bad, there's so much we're missing. I'm really just adding on to what you said, because I think you're exactly right. Matthews was more active and important that his sack numbers tell you he was, you are exactly right. I just wanted to explain my point a little further and you had the perfect intro for it. [/QUOTE]
