What is the single best measure to rate a defense? Yards allowed per play?

That is dumb. They should take out those points from stat.
Bro
9/23/14 9:52am
but they don't, so it's not the best measure for judging a defense
BlueK

Or if there is a turnover and the defense starts

I think the # of 3 and outs should be included...if your defense can't get

Are all possessions considered drives?
garyfan
9/23/14 10:04am
Yes, turnovers are part of the game. It is still the defense's job to prevent
Hoosier Coug

It should be considered a win, a huge win. But wouldn't be by that metric.

Like in a business, you can't look at one key indicator...

Pts allowed over an entire season is the only stat that matters.
