Crazy stat on Roquan Smith

[HUNKERED DOWN DAWG]

In 2017, he had 70 attempts on the ball carrier, and never missed. No missed tackles. That's impressive

[Muck FcDisney]

That's pretty damn impressive.

Kid is a straight stud

[ericberry14]

Sounds like bullshit to me

[FSUKW]

Interesting stat.

I wonder how this stacks up historically. Do a lot of players accomplish this? Has it never been done before?

:thought

Does taking a bad angle and not even touching a ball carrier count as a missed tackle? Cuz it should

For a mere $40 you can find our from Pro Football Focus.

I'm guessing it has happened before, but is pretty rare.

EDIT: apparently Smith wasn't the only one to do it this year, he just had the most attempts/opportunities of anyone with no missed tackles.

"I wouldn't say I missed those tackles, Bob."

That’s why I’m asking. So many variables. Wasn’t sure how common or not common it is. Is it like saying the center was successful on 1000 snaps out of 1000 attempts?

[HUNKERED DOWN DAWG]

I'm not sure how often this actually occurs, but the way I sees it, I don't care who it is, it sounds pretty bad ass if you never miss a tackle.

I'd like to see the missed tackle rate for other positions. ILB has to be the easiest, because you fill your gap, and if the RB takes that gap, well...

Which leads me to believe UGA's DL deserves a good bit of credit here (maintaining position and preventing blockers from making it to the 2nd level).

Still impressive, though.

Dude plays in space on a lot of plays. He's just a rare breed of heat seeking missile. Just an absolute stud of a football player. :rockin

Wonder what Luke kuechleys (didn’t spell that right) stats were on this because his tackling numbers were outrageous

Wonder what Luke kuechleys (didn’t spell that right) stats were on this because his tackling numbers were outrageous

Best thing I could find so far was for his 2015 NFL season

According to PFF through the first 12 weeks of the season, Kuechly's 17.6 run-stop percentage ranked first for any defensive player regardless of position with at least 100 snaps against the run. Further, Kuechly was one of seven linebackers with 30 or more tackles in the run game, and just one missed tackle. In coverage, Kuechly had three interceptions and four passes defended with no touchdowns allowed. He also allowed the second-lowest passer rating among all linebackers when targeted in coverage at 47.4 and is the one of just three linebacker with more than 25 tackles in coverage, and only one missed tackle.[57]

Against much better competition, obviously. More importantly, he often learns the offensive calls and lets the defense know where the play is going. One of the smartest fuckers in the game. Love that dude.

[FlatEarth]

It's one thing to be instinctive and athletic. It's something completely different to have those and intelligence. Luke is one of a kind.

Rumors are that Roquan is returning. If he does, he lacks the intelligence. :lol:

The fact he had 100+ tackles every year was amazing, but that fact alone makes him even better
