Which 4? The two guys starting have major deficiencies. We don’t have 4 LBs ready to perform at a stud level this season, unfortunately.

I’m right there with you if you’re comparing it against success rate. I can see how it can mislead in comparison to success rate.

Coaches use YPP across the country. It’s the smart way to look at things versus total defense, which can be skewed by tempo. YPP is important but acknowledging huge holes in the defense is another. Saying you’re pleased with LB play right now is frightening.

There’s a huge gap between bashing the Defense and saying “We watched the film and we have to be better. I’m not satisfied with how we looked on friday, but we’ll work this week to fix those things.” It’s another empty statement but changes the tenor completely.

YPP is an important metric to use, but we’ve still had glaring issues. Eye discipline has been bad ALL season, not just one week. Hearing that he was pleased with the LB play is definitely disheartening.
