Wheelhouse - Interesting Stats, Info and Tidbits
Thru Week 9
1. 0.3% INT percentage - Marc Bulger is 3rd in the NFL with 290 pass attempts. He has only thrown 1 interception.
Also worth note...
Damon Huard also has only 1 interception in 203 pass attempts (0.5%)
2. How good is Damon Huard?
Yards per attempt - Leaders (minimum 200 attempts)
8.35 McNabb
8.15 P. Manning
8.00 D. Huard
7.93 Bulger
7.77 Brees
7.60 Roethlisberger
7.35 Kitna
He's in some pretty good company here.
Also, the fact that Roethlisberger is here shows that he's still doing well - It's just those 14 INTs have killed him and his team, for that matter.
3. The Patriots, Brady and their short passing game - The list of QB's below have all had a passing play longer than Tom Brady this season.
Brian Bollinger
Andrew Walter
Seneca Wallace
Chris Simms
Bruce Gradkowski
JP Losman
Kyle Boller
Matt Leinart
Alex Smith
Charlie Frye
Charlie Batch
Damon Huard
Tony Romo
4. Titans fans - I've got a useless stat for you...
Vince Young has only been sacked 7 times this season That's not what I'm getting at though. In the times he was sacked, he's only lost an average of 3.4 yards per sack.
Let's compare that to Andrew Walter and the Raiders...
27 other QB's have attempted more passes than Andrew Walter's 183. He's been sacked 37 times, which is 8 more than the next closest QB (C. Frye, 29 sacks). And Frye has attempted 83 more passes than Walter.
By the way, Walter's average yards lost per sack is 5.4. The leagues worst is Matt Hasselbeck with an average loss of 8.2 yards per sack.
5. I've never tried compiling this stat before, until today - Brad Johnson currently is at a rate of 405 yards passing per TD pass - worst in the NFL.
6. Along the same lines, sorry Titans fans - Vince Young throws an INT every 108 yards passing - worst in the NFL. Compare that to Marc Bulger's 2300 yards passing per INT.
7. 10 reasons why the Raiders just might be the worst team in the NFL, without mentioning Art Shell
1. Only team with less than 1000 yards passing
2. Overall 47.4 QB rating (worst in the NFL)
3. Been sacked 44 times - 2nd worst has been sacked 29 times (CLE)
4. Only team with less than 2000 yards of total offense (1823) 2nd worst is TB (2004 yards)
5. Only team with less than 100 points scored
6. 112 total first downs - fewest of all teams
7. -9 turnover ratio. Only PIT is worse with -11
8. 136.4 yards rushing allowed per game - Only 5 teams allowing more (STL, CLE, NYJ, TEN, IND)
9. 19 FG made by their opponent - tied with WAS for most FG allowed in the NFL
10. 44 times punted - Only 5 teams have punted more (BUF, BAL, CAR, TEN, TB)
8. Hey, did you know - we've only had 3 TD's on kickoff returns so far. That seems kinda low to me. The Jets have had 2 and the Redskins had 1. The teams that allowed those - DAL, CLE and IND
9. FYI for those looking to decide which team defense/ST to start - The Eagles, Cardinals and Browns have each allowed 4 TD that were returns from an INT, fumble, kickoff or punt. That leads the NFL.
10. I bet you didn't know this - I wonder if this has happened before?? No RB with more than 100 rushing attempts is averaging 5.0 yards per carry or more. Brian Westbrook is very close, averaging 5.2 ypc, with only 97 attempts. LaDainian Tomlinson is averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 168 attempts
11. Speaking of Tomlinson - He is 6 points behind the total scoring leader in the NFL this season. If he can manage to overtake Robbie Gould, it will be the 2nd consecutive season in which a position player led the NFL in scoring. I am not sure, but I don't think that has happened before. (2005 S. Alexander topped Jay Feely 168 to 148).
2006 total scoring leaders
90 points - Robbie Gould
84 points - LaDainian Tomlinson
78 Points - Nate Kaeding
76 points - Jeff Wilkins
66 points - Larry Johnson
12. Even more on Tomlinson - LT has 12 rushing TD's which equals the total combined effort of rushing TD's from three of the four leaders in rushing yards this season and Tomlinson is other one of the four.
Rushing Leaders & Rushing TD's
830 Barber - 1
828 Tomlinson - 12

14. If you like Javon Walker, you might like some of these other WR's
- Javon Walker had a 72-yard run for a TD against PIT last week. Other WR's with a rushing TD this season include... (2 of which are on Carolina)
Steve Smith (24 yd)
Reggie Brown (15 yd)
Devery Henderson (11 yd)
Keyshawn Johnson (4 yd)
15. I don't want to jinx Andre Johnson, but - If something happened to him, Kellen Winslow would have a shot at leading the NFL in receptions come seasons end. When was the last time a TE did that?

21. Did you know? In last week's game SF vs. MIN, Chester Taylor was the leading receiver with only 45 yards. That's the fewest yards recieving for the leader in receiving yards in a game this year. The rushing equivalent to that (fewest yards rushing for the leader in rushing yards in a game this year) was also ironically 45 yards by Corey Dillon against the Dolphins in week 5.
