Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some football stats, specifically looking at Tariq Woolen and Sauce Gardner. I started by digging up some basic info on these two.
First off, I grabbed some stats from a few websites. I found that Sauce Gardner, in his rookie season in 2022, had 51 solo tackles, 24 assists, and 2 interceptions in 17 games. That’s pretty solid, and he even got picked for the Pro Bowl. Up to now, he has 92 solo tackles.
Then I moved on to compare him with Tariq Woolen. It got a bit tricky here. I checked out Pro Football Focus, which is like the go-to for this kind of stuff, but it’s behind a paywall, sadly. Anyway, I learned that Gardner has an overall grade of 88.0, which is impressive. He’s got 53 solo tackles, 2 interceptions on 61 targets, and allowed 27 catches so far in his debut season.
But here’s where it gets interesting. I wanted to see how Woolen stacks up. Some guy named Asante Samuel gave some insights on both these cornerbacks’ first seasons. From what I gathered, Woolen gave up more yards per catch than Gardner, about 2.5 yards more. But then I realized, this is because Woolen was targeted on deeper routes. His average yards in the air were 8.59, which explains the difference.
