There are plenty of numbers we can use when evaluating an IDP linebacker: total tackles, snap counts, snap percentage, missed tackles, coverage grades, sacks, pressures and even the coveted green dot.
But one of my favorites is also one of the simplest: tackle rates.
At its core, tackle rate measures the percentage of a player's defensive snaps during which he records a tackle. If a linebacker plays 1,000 defensive snaps and records 150 tackles, that is roughly a 15% tackle efficiency rate.
Simple math. Potentially valuable information.
Linebacker A: 1,000 snaps at a 15% tackle rate = approximately 150 tackles.
