Interesting stat I saw this morning in Peter King's MMQB column.

Miami's Cameron Wake led the league, drawing 13 offensive holding calls last year. Nobody else had more than seven.

How impressive is it that he not only led the league but almost doubled the next best guy? Doubled? This is the NFL. I would think anytime you double the stats of the next best guy in anything positive it's pretty amazing!!

Good find.  Not to be a homer, but I think that gives Cam more credit towards his motor and work ethic.  To be held that many times and still get the number of sacks he gets is pretty impressive.

Definitely an interesting stat find.  I haven't picked it up and turned it a bunch of different way to analyze it, but at first glance, it certainly does seem to be a good indicator of just how effective of a pass rusher Wake is.   Net yardage loss is a good thing for a defense, whether it comes in the form of a sack or a penalty against the offense.

They're just now writing about this? I thought this was talked about a while ago.

I am sure it was.  That stat has existed since January.  Need something to talk about until the games start in Sept.
