Missed tackle

[40 years an eagle]

We now have statistics up to our ears. I think any stat used on it's own is generally misleading and can be used to backup an opinion, making something appear far from reality. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"

Anyways, I saw a post today about a players' tackle stats...specifically missed tackles. Can anyone clarify what is deemed to be a "missed tackle" by the stat builders?
I'm guessing it is only a one on one miss...is that correct?

I think its more any tackle attempt that results in said player falling off or being classed as ineffective with the attacking player gaining an advantage.

It can't be can it.. the numbers per game would be triple what they are, or more.

"Ineffective" is another category altogether mate.

It has always seemed a grey area to me mate, but yeah, the stats you quoted for Walker caused me to delve deeper. Watched so many games where the stats given could not possibly be tallied by the definitions C & C provided.

Want to sack him too?

My point is, Dylan played Fullback for the first four rounds… it’s common for fullbacks to “miss” more tackles, especially when they’re not used to the position like Dylan.
