While my math and proper comparison sometimes struggles, I think the premise is still there. The Cards are outstanding, both independently and comparatively, against the run. I've reformatted a couple of the charts to make them more intuitive to read, not sure why I didn't re-sort them before. Hopefully should be easier to read this way, and give further insight. I plan to keep tabs on this area of the game in 2009 - and I'm sure I'll continue to draw on this series of posts. Thanks Pip, I consider that to be great praise coming from you.

Combined with Matthew Leach's observational/anecdotal evidence of the Cardinals focusing on this aspect of the game, your numbers give very helpful credence. Your research should be referenced for anyone who wants to do a story on the Cardinals' running-game defense. Wow, great stuff, Nick.
