I used to work for a sports company, not Pro Football Focus, that did a lot of charting and data entry. I can tell you first hand, the person recording the information matters. Knowing the integrity of PFF, you have to steep even lower and really take their numbers with a grain of salt. Layoffs right before the holidays? A story for another day. Soon, hopefully; speak more about that later.
Turns out, PFF is straight up lying about their stats. They don’t care! It’s clickbait cheese! Do you know how Emmanuel Acho called Justin Herbert a social media quarterback? That’s what PFF is except is a more accurate portrayal of the sports media version.
Let’s get to the story at hand here. Javion Cohen hit the transfer portal and PFF put out a stat that the now former Alabama guard allowed zero sacks in his college career.
I don’t follow PFF on any platforms but I was made aware of this incident by my new favorite college football analyst, Josh Pate.
“Look, I can speak glowingly of this guy without having to tell you things like he allowed zero sacks in his career at Alabama. I know that stat is flying around. That is not an accurate stat. Let me just leave it there. Javion Cohen’s a fine player. He is not the kind of player that has allowed zero sacks in his career. So, let me just leave that there. I know that when we show you the slider that we’re showing you right now and it doesn’t have that stat on it, somebody, multiple somebodies are going to be in the comments section “you know he’s allowed zero sacks” how do you know? Did you study his film? No, you saw a graphic tweeted out by a certain company out there.”
Pate wasn’t as mean as I would have been but he felt confident in saying the information was incorrect. In fact, while doing five seconds worth of more research, I found two different posts (one from Yardbarker & Alabama Mag) that indicate Cohen allowed 1.5 sacks as a junior this past year.
Get the Game of Thrones lady out for another round. Shame! Shame! Shame!
What else are they lying about? How do I know someone isn’t greasing their pockets to inflate certain stats? They are broke and firing people before the holidays. Food for thought. End of blog.
