TMW Defensive Player Ratings! TMW is proud to introduce our individual Defensive Player Ratings! The basic measure we begin with is how many "plays" a player makes -- this can be anything from a tackle to a deflected pass to forcing or recovering a fumble. One weakness of this approach is that the numbers below do not reflect the "opportunities" a player has to make the play , but at least gives us a sense of how active a player is on the field. Then we add in some new terminology:

Stop -- a defensive "Stop" is credited when a player's actions causes the offensive play to fail to get the necessary yardage to be deemed a "Success" (see our overview on Play Success Rates if you are not familiar with this subject).
Defeat -- a play is considered "defeated" if it's a 3rd or 4th down play that fails to get the needed yardage for a first down, if the play has negative net yardage, or if there is a fumble, interception or fumble recovery.
Median Yards -- this represents the median yards per defender's "play" or in other words where on the field the player is typically making his plays.
Stop Rate -- the percentage of a defender's plays that are also defensive Stops.
PM Rtg -- the TwoMinuteWarning overall "Playmaker" rating taking into account the above factors. Note that this rating is somewhat dependent on position, so linebackers having more opportunities will generally have the highest numbers. See our positional breakouts for more relevant comparisons.

A player needed a minimum Playmaker Rating of 20 to qualify for the list.
