Wheelhouse - Interesting Stats, Info and Tidbits
Thru Week 3
1. QB rushing is down. Way down - Mike Vick leads all QB's with 232 rushing yards on 27 attempts. The next closest in yards is Charlie Frye with 60 and attempts is Byron Leftwich with 16.
Vick has had 3 rushing gains of 20 yards or more, the only other QB that has any 20+ yard gains is Alex Smith with 1
Interestingly enough, it's Frye who leads all QB's with 3 rushing TD's. Leftwich is 2nd with 2. Vick only has 1.
38 different QB's have attempted at least one rush. I looked and could not find a QB that has not attempted at least one rush.
Drew Brees has 8 rushing attempts totaling -5 yards. His longest run is 1 yard.
The top QB rushers with at least 8 attempts are:
27 Vick
16 Leftwich
12 Frye
11 McNabb
10 Carr
10 Culpepper
9 A. Smith
8 McNair
8 Brady
8 Palmer
8 Brees
2. Interesting QB stat of the week - Every starting QB has at least 1 TD pass so far with the exception of the Raiders woeful tandem of Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter and Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger also has the most passing yards (349) without a TD pass.
3. Let's not throw Aaron brooks under the bus just yet - He hasn't thrown an INT this season - so far.
8 total QB's without an INT (yardage leaders first)
814 yards Alex Smith
711 Marc Bulger
343 Phillip Rivers
273 Damon Huard
209 Charlie Batch
68 Aaron Brooks
20 Bruce Gradkowski
5 Brian Griese
4. Can you tell which QB is David Carr and which is Matt Hasselbeck?
QB A: 61 of 90 for 658 yards, 6 TD, 5 INT - sacked 8 times, 88.1 QB rating
QB B: 59 of 82 for 635 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT - sacked 10 times, 113.6 QB rating
If you guessed David Carr was QB B - you're right!
Impressive huh?
5. Did you know - The Chargers are the only team that has not been sacked yet? (granted they've played only 2 games)
6. Gettin' it done without the yardage - Houston, Cincinnati and Seattle are the only teams with an average of 200 yards passing per game or less that have 6 total TD passes. No other teams in that category even have 4 TD passes.
7. Those who get the carries will reach paydirt - Every RB with at least 20.0 carries per game has at least 200 yards rushing on the season except Larry Johnson (only 2 games so far), Shaun Alexander (injured) and Thomas Jones.

11. This may be interesting, or it may not - Stat of the week - In all 3 games for Carolina so far this season, there have only been 17 3rd downs converted - this includes only 7 the Panthers have converted offensively and the 10 their defense has allowed. In contrast Colts games have yielded 43 3rd downs converted. 26 offensively and 17 allowed defensively.
12. Did you know - Amani Toomer is 4th in the NFL in receptions (20), but 27th in the NFL in receiving yards per game (69.0)
13. Deja Vu? - Just as there were no RB's with more than 3 rushing TD's so far, the same holds true for WR's. No WR has more than 3 TD receptions. In fact, only two WR's have at least 3 TD's - Amani Toomer and Darrell Jackson.
14. Can you stop 85? - Chad Johnson's longest reception so far is 18 yards. All of Cincinnati's WR's have a longer catch than Chad so far. Even Tab Perry (30 yards) has grabbed one for more yards than Chad.
