    It looks like Clowney just pulled something. No big deal.

    The problem with Clowney this game though seems to be covering against the run. He's doing a fantastic job pressure wise in passing situations, but he's getting eaten alive in the running game.

    Agreed. But in the NBA and MLB they still use dinosaur statisticz

    Probably another concussion. He was screaming "im ok" at the trainer. Probably doingiimpact testing right now to come back in the game

    I don't think it has anything to do with his pecs. That poster was just trying to be funny, and failing miserably.

    It could be just a precaution due to the concussion

    Well MLB is a far more statistical-based game... and OPS now routinely used by everybody (wasn't the case 15-20 year ago), and WAR is now used by most reputable sources.

    The fact is, football has zero viable stats to show a defensive player's true impact.

    I know Bill Barnwell talks about football outsiders all the time. While I don't particularly care for their numbers, since I'm not enough of a football junkie to really analyze them like I could basketball numbers, they have some really nice ideas. Things like fumble recoveries being mostly luck and tend to regress, or the incorporation of field position in terms of scoring potential.

    Still mostly done on a team level rather than individual defenders though. Makes sense given how team-oriented the game is compared to basketball and baseball.

    Interesting that the team is playing Mohamed instead of Cushing in nickel.

    He's not good enough to get his name pronounced correctly.

    Cushing was out at the end of the half as well. Anyone know what his injury was?

    I think its just O'Brien and Crennel being overly cautious. Same with the Clowney thing. There's a reason Andre said this team is possibly the healthiest he's ever had going into the first week.
