I’ve got my hand on the incredible extensive free agency guide from the folks at Pro Football Focus, and we’re going to make our way through the 49ers’ pending free agents, and perhaps some targets as well, looking at what PFF had to say about them overall. Today, we look at defensive lineman Tank Carradine.
For edge defenders, PFF tracks two primary signature stats: pass-rushing productivity and run-stop percentage. They are both fairly self-explanatory. The first considers the frequency of pressure generated by a defender, taking sacks, htis and hurries all added up and factored on a per-pass-rushing-snap basis.
