That’s “moneyball” in today’s defense.
You can’t stop today’s offenses. The rules prohibit that. But you can take the ball away.
Forced fumbles
Recovered fumbles
Sacks
Interceptions
Batted passes
Passes defensed
Tackles for loss
Those are the categories that teams like ours need to emphasize because we score tons of points and that puts pressure on opposing offenses to keep pace.
Players that take the ball away help us win games.

you just had a defensive scheme for 6 years that was based off bend dont break and highly dependent on the +/- in takeaways. And when they couldnt generate a turnover the entire scheme was useless.
