This is a tremendous stat that is reportedly used by NFL scouts to determine the overall prowess of a defensive player in the NFL, and is made to balance the worth of different positions within a defensive scheme...check this out, then use it and you'll realize it pretty much extracts the stars in the league...it's based on 8 key defensive stats...solo tackles, assists, pass deflections, sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, and defensive touchdowns. Here's how it works....
In any given game...take the defender's
assists + solo tackles (2) + pass deflections (3) + sacks (5) + fumble recoveries (6) + forced fumbles (7) + interceptions (8) + touchdowns (10) = Player's "Defender Rating"
It's a brilliant rating. For example, it basically equals out the worth of a great nosetackle who has 10 solos and 5 assists, with a great safety who has 2 solos, 2 interceptions, and 7 assist. It's a great formula.

That's great!!! It's the first I've heard of it... It's nice to be able to compare a guy like Ray Lewis to a guy like Champ Bailey...
