r/nfl talking about Kuechly

from same redditor as above:

That's right, Keuchly is leading the league despite playing 103 fewer defensive snaps than the next lowest guy in the top 5 (Mayo). On top of that he started the season as an OLB where players usually get fewer tackles.

Tkl% is the percentage of snaps in which this player is the one to make the tackle. Most top ILB's are right around 15%. 19% is a huge difference.

Only one player in the top 16 had fewer snaps. That turns out to be another phenominal rookie ILB Bobby Wagner tied for 10th with 109 tackles on 637 defensive snaps for a tackle rate of 17.1%.

I included the rush attempts to show that his totals were not due to Carolina facing an absurd number of rushs. The league average "total rushing attempts defended" right now is 350. Carolina has faced just about the average amount. The extremes are 448(Jacksonville) and 257(Houston) so 360 is very close to average.

    • New season new teams. Everyone we face has improved their team as well. There's now a full season of tape on Canales's offense and Bryce running it. When they win 7 games I will become a believer. 
    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
