Previously on Number Mill: Cam Meredith | Markus Wheaton / DVOA | Dontrelle Inman | Chiefs Offense | FA Receivers 1 | FA Receivers 2 | FA Edge Rushers / SAQ | Trubisky’s rookie performance / Odds Ratios | HeatvantageThere are many ways of measuring a pass rusher’s production Mitchell Trubisky Color Rush Jersey , from total sacks, to total pressures, to combined units such as Pro Football Focus’ PRP (Pass rush productivity). There are many ways, but none are as truly transcendent or narrowly-revered as the Sack Attack Quotient (SAQ), developed by myself last off-season in an effort to sort through the dregs of free agent past rushers.For those that missed it, the SAQ is a combined unit which weighs a player’s sacks, hurries, and hits based on their relative value on affecting a football game. The SAQ is reported as sack equivalents per 100 pass rush attempts, treating a hit as .25 sack equivalents and a hurry as .1 sack equivalents. Unfortunately Pat O'Donnell Jersey , I must keep secret the number of sack equivalents a sack is worth to protect my proprietary formula.Having arguably the best pass rusher in football on the Bears, I’ve been eager to take a look at how Khalil Mack performs according to my precious SAQ metric. The difficulty in calculating the sack is that it requires knowing how many of a player’s snaps are actual pass rush attempts—data which is not readily available. I’ve recently gotten my paws on pass rush attempt numbers during Khalil Mack’s career courtesy of PFF, so let’s dig in!2018 SAQ Leaders (data through week 12)Top 100 SAQ leaders for 2018 weeks 1 through 12. Minimum 100 pass rush attempts. Ok. What in the cheese-mold depths of the nine yellow and gold hells happened here? Clearly, in sample sizes under 150 pass rush attempts, this metric is vulnerable to spurious results. I need a do-over.2018 SAQ Leaders (with at least 150 pass rush attempts)Top SAQ leaders 2018 weeks 1 through 12. Minimum 150 pass rush attempts. Ok. At least this is not painful to look at. It’s also not as pleasing as I’d hoped. Khalil Mack sits all the way down at 18th in terms of SAQ this year. And remember, this is a per rush attempt metric, so missing games doesn’t hurt him. Playing hurt, however, certainly did hurt him. SAQ is a measure of production and not talent. Most importantly https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey , it doesn’t account for the way teams game-plan against Mack. It doesn’t account for double teams, triple teams, fast-pass play-calling, or quarterbacks rolling away from Mack’s direction every drop back out of subconscious primal fear.What is encouraging is seeing five Bears in the top 100 (4 once I dropped out the low sample size Bilal Nichols). On average, each team should have three on this list, and the high amount of Navy and Orange representation confirms what we already know: the Bears pass rush is good.I still am not happy with Khalil Mack being 18th on my list. Not so much because it makes him look bad, but because I’m afraid it makes my metric look bad. In an attempt to salvage the SAQs reputation, I went back for the past 4 years and collected cumulative stats for all players with top 100 SAQ ratings in each of those 4 years. I set those criteria because consistency and availability are both highly valuable traits that our big beautiful Bear specializes in.Perhaps the most concerning thing on this table is staring at us right at the top. This Sunday night, rookie James Daniel and replacement Bryan Witzmann are scheduled to face Aaron Donald Tom Waddle Color Rush Jersey , the man with the most productive pass-rushing season this year. I’ve known Donald was having a good season, and I’ve seen a few Rams games, but seeing these numbers confirms that Donald is having the best pass-rushing season by an interior lineman of all time. Donald is getting as much attention from offensive coordinators as Mack and still producing at a record-breaking level.Dammit. I want that man in a Bear costume. And a navy uniform.4-year SAQ rating for all players with a top 100 SAQ finish in each of the last 4 yearsAll players who ranked in the top 100 SAQ every year 2015-2018. Minimum 100 pass rush attempts yearly. Aside from Mario Addison poking his underrated nose in and making me look bad, this table reads closer to what I expected to see. Von Miller is allowed to be ahead of Mack because he’s aging out anyway and he’s benefited from elite talent across from him in Demarcus Ware and Bradley Chubb. And Aaron Donald is allowed to be ahead of Mack because I’m coming to believe he’s the best player in the NFL.Also, haayyyyy Akiem. I see you staying all consistent and available down there too.SAQ is a measure of production. Production doesn’t always accurately represent talent. Perhaps the fact that Khalil Mack doesn’t have top production is actually a sign that he’s better than everyone—it reflects just how far opponents go out of their way to limit his production. Either way, Khalil Mack is one of the most consistently productive pass rushers in the league, and Aaron Donald is terrifying. LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Two-time All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack and top receiver Allen Robinson look as if they’re just about ready to return after missing the Chicago Bears‘ past two games because of injuries.Both players practiced without limitations Thursday for the second consecutive day.The NFC North-leading Bears hope to have them back in the lineup against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday.“These are strange deals because, literally Sam Acho Jersey , as you’re going through it (you’re) trying to figure out where they’re at on a day-to-day basis,” coach Matt Nagy said Thursday. “Where are you at? Can you go 100 percent? Can you not? How do you feel? And we need to take that into consideration and discuss that, which leads up to game time and then how much, if so.”Robinson sent strong signals that he intends to play, saying he’s “100 percent” after a groin injury kept him from playing in victories over the struggling New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. He has 25 catches for 285 and two touchdowns in six games after signing a three-year contract with Chicago in March.Robinson missed just about all of last season with Jacksonville after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee early in the opener. He was brought along slowly in the preseason as he worked his way back while trying to learn a new system and develop a rapport with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.“I’m feeling great, and I’m definitely anxious to get back out there,” Robinson said. “It’s been a tough couple weeks, just having to watch the game from the sideline, so I’m excited.”Mack https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Devin-Hester-Jersey , who did not make himself available for comment, got off to a huge start with the Bears following a trade from Oakland just before the opener. He had five sacks and four forced fumbles through the first four games. But he suffered an ankle injury early in an overtime loss at Miami on Oct. 14 and was largely a nonfactor the following week when New England beat Chicago at Soldier Field.Mack had not missed a game since Oakland drafted him with the fifth overall pick in 2014, before sitting out the past two. And he still was adjusting to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s system even though he sure looked dominant before he got hurt.“He didn’t practice much the two weeks he’s missed … so he’s not where he needs to be or where we want him to be,” Fangio said. “But he’s certainly prepared enough to go out there and play if his ankle will let him.”
