Top 10 NFL secondaries this season

The singular brilliance of Norman puts Carolina at No. 8 on this list; he is currently PFF’s top-ranked cornerback. Sam Monson broke down his dominate play last week, including this great nugget: If a QB throws the ball into the ground every play, their rating is 39.6, but when targeting Norman, that rating is currently 23.4.

His NFL-leading four interceptions are as many as three of the units highlighted in this piece have total, and as many or more than 12 teams thus far. Interestingly, opponents have yet to truly avoid Norman, as he is only 20th in coverage snaps per target, well below other top corners such as Desmond Trufant and Patrick Peterson. The Panthers have received average to below-average play from the remainder of the group, further highlighting Norman’s importance.

Maybe I'm being petty, but it drives me crazy to see the words "dominate" and "dominant" misused on a daily basis.

"Dominate" (sounds like domin8) means to beat your opponent badly. Overpower is a decent synonym. Example: Josh Norman will dominate TY Hilton on Monday.

"Dominant", while similar, is used differently. For example, the Panthers' pass defense has been dominant so far this year.

Dominating one-on-one matchups is the key to building a dominant defense.

Get it? Don't care? Doesn't matter, I feel better.

people who work with stats have taken over the stats? oh my!

Listen young'un.... back in the old days it was Fan's who handled the stat department!  Sure, it meant some spirited disagreements over made up facts but it was fuging GOLD!  Accountants and computers have sucked what little life the lawyers left in the NFL  /oldmanrant

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
