Tim Graham: YBell was most efficient Safety in the NFL

I have always liked Yeremiah "The Bullfrog" Bell

 

I like Bell quite a bit, but I was watching an NFL Network show about NFL myths yesterday and the first myth listed was tackle stats. It was called one of the most useless stats b/c they vary from team to team and are so often inaccurate. They cited Ray Lewis as a guy with incredibly inflated tackle stats. I wonder how accurate the missed tackle stat could be?

 

I believe I said at the beginning of the season on "The Phins Wildcat pregame show" that he was going to have a breakout year...now i can say that i thought he was going to be more of a force in the game but he doesnt disappoint me he is a stud, alll he needs is a FS

 

While true its a very inflated stat. If we added up the amount of tackles listed by these teams they wouldn't equate to the actual amount of plays run. In this case however PFF claims that they broke down the film and counted the tackles and missed tackles themselves. independent of the team stats.

 

Not I, that's for sure. I thought Bell played well. He made some solid tackles and was actually pretty solid in pass defense. I remember him making a few key breakups. I've always been a fan of the Bullfrog. I won't get into it again because I've said it like a thousand times in more detail, but it was Gibril whom really hurt the secondary.

Here's the thing: Nolan likes to create a lot of pressure with his DBs. This is an area at which the Bullfrog could greatly excel, IMO. I expect great things from the Bullfrog this year.
