Hit Me with Your Best Shot

Oct 27, 2006 | 10:57AM |

... the NFL has added a few things to the official play-by-play this season, and one of the new stats is quarterback hits.

... The individual defensive leaders:

Julius Peppers, CAR, 15

Leonard Little, STL, 14

Aaron Kampman, GB, 14

Jared Allen, KC, 12

Darwin Walker, PHI, 12

Rashean Mathis, IND, 12

Team defensive leaders, hits per game:

NE, 8.0

NO, 7.5

PHI, 7.3

CLE, 7.0

BAL, 7.0

GB, 6.7

CHI, 6.5

DEN, 6.3

... the numbers for NE, DEN, CLE, and BAL are all a little inflated.

The defenses with the fewest hits per game:

OAK, 3.0

TEN, 3.2

NYJ, 3.4

PIT, 3.8

HOU, 4.3

On the offensive side, the quarterbacks hit most often:

Charlie Frye, CLE, 51

Steve McNair, BAL, 44

J.P. Losman, BUF, 44

Jon Kitna, DET, 40

Carson Palmer, CIN, 36

Tom Brady, NE, 35

Andrew Walter, OAK, 35

Jake Delhomme, CAR, 34

If I remember correctly, our game charting last year had Delhomme as the quarterback hit least often, so this is certainly a switch.

And here are the offenses giving up the fewest hits per game:

IND, 2.7

KC, 3.2

NO, 3.3

NYG, 3.5

CHI, 3.7
After I saw the 'qb hit' stat I tried to track that one down to get the official stat but couldn't find it. Maybe someone can track that one down.
 
as he mentioned in that article, it's being scored kinda funky this year as the stat scorers are getting used to it. 30 in one game, I believe he brought up
