I'm just curious. Regarding this play in particular, do you think every time this happens the RB should be tackled by this LB?
Actually, yes, this is exactly what I want. I want an LB with these attributes to win against a RB with these attributes 9,999 times out of every 10,000 plays. That would allow for the 1 time Woodhead breaks a tackle against Ray Lewis, and the whole crowd goes, did he just do that?
Because Woodhead is not going to break a tackle against Ray Lewis each game, every game like a MFN Woodhead does against a MFN Lewis right now.
What happens now is that because a Woodhead can break a tackle so easily against a Lewis is that a MFN Jerome Bettis or Marshawn Lynch rolls down the field breaking 4, 5, 6, 12 tackles a play until being brought down by a FS who has a worse tackling skill than the two defensive lineman and three linebackers that hit him before. And, don't lie, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I actually think there are two problems with tackling versus break tackle:
1) The shrug off as discussed throughout this thread where I'm almost certain the calculations favor the RB (I've yet to hear JDB tell me otherwise, so until he does, I'm going to continue to hold this position)
2) The generation of the break tackle attribute versus the tackling attribute. I need to do a statistical analysis of it, but I'm willing to bet there are more RBs generated that have 100 break tackle, then there are defenders that have 100 tackle in a league.
