[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2627905, member: 2221"] I rarely use stats to base my statements on. I watch games and performances and look at stats for more detailed information. What I observed was a Barba growing throughout 2014, especially once he moved to 5/8, while Boyd stagnated throughout the season. The 2014 stats are fatally flawed, because while Boyd played all his games at fullback, Hoffman and Barba played a significant amount at 5/8, meaning they made many more tackles than Boyd in the defensive line, as opposed to last ditch attempts, which are often most tackles done by a fullback. Here are the stats for all three players for their games exclusively as Fullback: [TABLE="class: grid, width: 650, align: center"] [TR] [TD="align: center"][B]Attack [/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Games[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Tries[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Try Assists[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Line Brk[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]LB Assists[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Runs[/B][/TD] [TD="colspan: 2, align: center"][B]Meters[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Tackle Brk[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"][B]Offloads[/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Avg/Run[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [TD="align: center"]Total[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Ben Barba[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"]16[/TD] [TD="align: center"]3[/TD] [TD="align: center"]5[/TD] [TD="align: center"]3[/TD] [TD="align: center"]3[/TD] [TD="align: center"]155[/TD] [TD="align: center"]1254[/TD] [TD="align: center"]8.1[/TD] [TD="align: center"]29[/TD] [TD="align: center"]16[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Darius Boyd[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"]14[/TD] [TD="align: center"]3[/TD] [TD="align: center"]4[/TD] [TD="align: center"]3[/TD] [TD="align: center"]4[/TD] [TD="align: center"]155[/TD] [TD="align: center"]1588[/TD] [TD="align: center"]10.2[/TD] [TD="align: center"]50[/TD] [TD="align: center"]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Josh Hoffman[/B][/TD] [TD="align: center"]5[/TD] [TD="align: center"]0[/TD] [TD="align: center"]1[/TD] [TD="align: center"]2[/TD] [TD="align: center"]0[/TD] [TD="align: center"]59[/TD] [TD="align: center"]600[/TD] [TD="align: center"]10.2[/TD] [TD="align: center"]17[/TD] [TD="align: center"]2[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Josh Hoffman showing his lack of attacking prowess, with Barba and Boyd very close, Boyd breaking more tackles, Barba more offloads.

The 5/8 stats for Hoffman and Barba, tell their own story, with Barba beating Hoffman pretty much everywhere...
