I have done some of my own analysis on the side except using 40 years worth of CPU generated sims as my dataset and we're getting a lot of similar stuff, but we split in other ways as well. One thing I think that is rather important to point out is with linebacker sacks. Look at some of the top LBs in sacks for S7 and you see Winchester and Tweed, both who were maxed in every stat, and Sharpei who was very high in them. That alone is going to skew the data about endurance, but it is an important stat. The other really difficult thing with linebackers and sacks has a lot to do with their scheme and what spot they played in, which largely in S7 for top sacking LBs was SLB in nickel, it's where the stats came from.
Now here's a really fun stat. Using my system of 40 years of CPU data I wanted to see what effect tackling had on missed tackles. So take tackles/(tackles + missed tackles) and you get the rate of a successful tackle, make sense? Here's where it got weird, the higher a player's tackling stat, the more likely they were to miss a tackle. WTF right? We're talking maybe 96% success vs 98% so not a ton, but still head scratchingly weird.
