Steelers' Aaron Smith bounces back from surgery

Re: Steelers' Aaron Smith bounces back from surgery

H...If you look at the right side of the line through that site you will notice a significant increase in play from the right side over the years. Keisel has gotten much better...he has made Harrison better. I suggest that Keisel doesn't get enough love from fans. Him and Harrison are a good team on the right.

Shawn, you have the stats backwards. Those stats are given from the offensive side of the ball.

So it is Smith's side that is doing better.

I won't explain it again...and I guess the statistician that wrote the article got it wrong too.

How about backside pursuit?

James Harrison always catches guys from behind. He's the best in the business at catching guys from behind. I think he helps runs going away from him more than runs going toward him.

Plus Harrison blitzes more than Woodley.

Both of these are not accounted for in these stats.

Nobody thinks the statistician who wrote the article got it wrong...some people think that perhaps the poster who is quoting the statistician is reading it wrong...

Correct. Ike even quoted the part from the article where the writer stated the stats were looked at from the offensive side of the ball. Meaning when the offense is facing the defense.

So offensive right means defensive left. And vice-versa. Stats for the right are really for the defensive left. And vice-versa.

Ugh...that wasn't the article Ike quoted. That was the site the stats were obtained from. The article was a seperate article using those stats. What Ike listed...and why he is confused is because he is looking at the LT...which shows the RE...but I'm using the LE numbers...they are actually listed in the chart.

Anyways...believe what you want to believe guys. I'm done explaining it.

Re: Steelers' Aaron Smith bounces back from surgery

I don't need stats anyway. I watch the games and I see Smith doing his job quite well.
