Seems like a simple change IMO. Change the PD stat to include all forms of passes disrupted by the defenders: deflections, knocked loose, unable to secure due to nearby defense, etc. This would give much quicker & better at-a-glance feedback as to how defenders are performing in pass coverage; in effect it would make defenders look better, which will make the game more satisfying to play for the owners of those notdots.

Well Passes defended would be wrong, their are so many different ways for the pass to go incomplete.

PDs gives us a specific look at what the defender can do, since he has to completely win the roll to get the deflection.

So - 3 defenders are in the area when "Unable to secure due to nearby defense" - who gets the 'pass defended' stat?

for how defenders are performing - targets / receptions allowed seems to already kind of due what you're talking about

I agree. I want to see more of these ratio stats made available to us. Primarily this one for DBs. It's easy enough to figure this out for my guy, but I would love for it to be a sortable stat for league pages and elsewhere, so that we can easily compare many players at once who've all been targeted a different number of times. After all if you're trying to make a shutdown CB, this might be the most important thing to look at. Futhermore, I would have to imagine this is part of the HOF rankings, or at least it should be.

Yeah times targeted/allowed should be viewable in more spots too. Currently only in game logs which sucks and requires player by player checks. Should be in the game box summary.
