Doug came up with something similar to what you are looking for. Look under April 21, 2009, in the Archives---"Sack Trivia". For Favre, John Randle sacked him around 10.7 times (estimate).

I am still waiting for you guys to publish all the stats for Super Bowl 44,but I have a suggestion,maybe you could have videos of the BIG PLAYS at the bottom of the page like
broken records,or/and higlights or/and touchdowns.

It would also be helpful if you could identify which QBs were Left Handed or Right Handed.

Wow, three of the top eight were Purple People Eaters!

It would be hard, but I have seen it done on a smaller scale on team websites and other research sites but seeing unofficial stats for individual sack numbers for pre-1982 players would be cool.

I think an interesting feature would be some sort of indication as to how often a player led his team in a major category (by season, that is). I know that each team's yearly passing, rushing and receiving leaders can be viewed from the 'all-time franchise leaderboards' page -- but it would be helpful to know how often a player led his team in major categories by directly viewing that player's page.

For example: If I wanted to know how many seasons Rolland Lawrence led the Falcons in interceptions, I could simply view his player page. Perhaps a symbol (let's just use #) could be placed next to his yearly interception total for those seasons in which he led the squad in that category. Thus, just by looking at Mr. Lawrence's player page, I could determine that he led the team in INTs five of his eight seasons with the team (I had to cycle through the team's stats each year from '73-'80 to come up with this fact). And of course, in the rare event of a tie, maybe #-t or something similar could be used to indicate that another player matched him in that category.

You guys have vastly improved the site over the last few years.. Keep up the exceptional work!

I would love to see blog posts. The last real statgeeky post was in April.

I know, I know, it's the offseason...
