Newton 1st in Broken Tackle's, Panthers 4th in 2013

[t96]

Note (for those Panther fans who didn't get the arguments FOR Golden Tate): He finished number one on this list. 

 

And on top of leading the league in broken tackles, I saw many Seattle games, where Tate came back to the ball when Wilson was in trouble, and he fought successfully for many jump balls.  

 

Those are things that Panther receivers just didn't do much in 2013 (on top of his broken tackle success). 

 

We couldn't afford Tate, but I'd have to say he was definitely the best WR of this FA class.

3 of those happened on one play see my sig

Lol @ Kaepernick's broken tackles

My arm are bigger than his legs

Both Cotchery and (especially) Avant are very good at both coming back for the ball and winning jump balls.

It's not even close between Cam and #2. No surprise. Cam is a bad@$$ and I wouldn't trade him for anyone in the history of football.

Houdinis is the dumbest name for a statistic by far. Who made that garbage up.

Hmmmh (didn't look at the link yet). Not surprised. 

 

Panther fans have been telling Redskin, Niner and Colts fans for the past several years, 'that Cam can run by you; juke you out of your shoes; and/or run over you, compared to/unlike their own QB's. 

 

I wonder if Cam, Smitty, Ginn, or Tolbert made up for Olsen's lack of YAC yards (since the team finished 4-7 in their rankings)?

 

Unfortunately, if they kept a stat on fighting for jump/catchable balls with the defender, the Panthers [i think] would be dead last. Panthers receivers, had very few of those short yardage TD catches in traffic or over defenders. 

 

Sadly, this stat also reflects the Panthers lack of OL protection, and unproductivity/reliability from D'Angelo and Stewart. Curious to know, if they kept the stat in 2011, what it be, considering the receivers, OL and run game were a bit better and consistent?

 

Do you mean yards after contact or yards after catch? I'm pretty sure our QB had no yards after catch, and yards after contact is usually a running back stat. With that being said, Smitty had the lowest yards after catch and yards after catch average on the team last year among guys that caught more than 10 passes.

Okay/Thanks. Cause though I would have assumed "broken tackles" added up to YAC (yards after catch), I didn't feel the Panther receivers had much of any. However, since Football outsiders said Smitty was 7th in broken tackles, I asked the question (knowing Olsen should be abysmal in that stat). And I sure as hell thought that the Panther receivers like many (were very poor in this area).

surprised to see Mark Ingram was right there alongside Marshawn Lynch as one of the three RBs that were elite at breaking tackles last yr

heck, they even said the same thing: "Mark Ingram is a bit of a surprising name near the top of the list for broken tackle rate"

I liked reading: "Cam Newton easily led all quarterbacks in broken tackles for the second straight season, going up from 20 in 2012 to 25 last year." Cam had about as much as #2 Russell Wilson and #3 Big Ben combined

I think it's a fine conclusion to draw, but the actual stats don't necessarily support it in this case.

Cam is beast, should we be surprised?

I may be in the minority here but I believe this will be Deangelo's last year with us. He will probably become a cap casualty after this year.

Ingram improved his play this past year. I was impressed with him when he played us and Seattle. If we can get him on one of those cheap running back contracts that running backs sign for I would gladly take him to pair with whomever we have left in 2015. At this point the only person I want from our backfield is Tolbert, but I will be optimistic that Jonathan Stewart comes back healthy.

Thanks. 

 

Okay, so Olsen and Ginn [musta] got a lot of YAC with out being touched, I guess? Lol

Finally, the Panthers as a team ranked 4th in broken tackles. By technicality, the Panthers ranked 7th but because they ranked in the middle of the league in plays ran, they managed to jump to fourth in percentage of plays with a broken tackle (7.1%). Overall, the Panthers ranked 5th in plays with a broken tackle, 7th in total broken tackle's, and 4th in percentage of plays with a broken tackle. It's assumed that Newton, Smith, and Tolbert accounted for most of the Panthers broken tackle's this past year.

That is quite a testament to Shula that we were middle of the pack in total plays ran even though we were last in total possessions.
