What is a “stop” considered?

Keys is a beast. Athletic freak. He was criminally underrated coming out of Aledo in HS.
He was ranked as the #25 LB, and #51 player in the state of Texas coming out. Texas HS football guys routinely had him as the top LB in the state.

Good question. My guess it’s a tackle that prevents a first down.
Seem like a good stat because it tracks making plays when it really matters.

Keyes definitely makes tackles no whiffle ball. This team is a lot better tackling than last years team.

Not al all surprised, my surprised - he showed a lot of promise once he started playing last year. In fact I still remember the dropped pic vs Florida last year, I honestly think if he hangs on to that we win the game, that was a big momnetum swing.
But I remember thinking he was in position to make that play having very little experience, which to me meant alot. I was actually surprised West was starting over him to be honest and thal's not slight to West, I just think Keys is that good.

He stepped on in there. LB is our strong point

Reminds me of Kevin Minter

Was pretty surprised he wasn't a starter this year.

Came here to say this. Watches him frequently at Aledo and he was on a different planet playing against good football teams. He’s going to be very good if we can keep him.

I said in the offseason I thought Keys could be Devin White good. Similar size, speed and a HS RB. Maybe not as physical yet, but he has the tools to be special.

He’s a monster and should continue to be on the field more
Posted on 9/14/25 at 7:53 pm to GumboPot
So out of 14 tackles, 12 were after a first down was made? That doesn’t sound very good. He had 1 TFL & a half sack, so those were stops which means every other tackle was after the ball carrier or receiver crossed the line to gain. Am I missing something?

Did you use your eyeballs? He was everywhere and he’s an athletic mutant. He’s only going to get better
Posted on 9/14/25 at 7:59 pm to GumboPot
Weeks and Keys may be the starters going forward. He played very well.
Posted on 9/14/25 at 7:59 pm to DamnStrong
I wonder if stop means the tackle happened on 3rd down and prevented the 1st down?

Is “NFL grade” different than PFF?
Apparently:
PFF HIGHEST GRADES
Dashawn Spears, SS – 97.9
Mansoor Delane, CB – 80.1
Garrett Nussmeier, QB – 78.5
West Weeks, LB – 76.7
AJ Haulcy, FS – 74.8
PJ Woodland, CB – 74.1

I wasn’t trying to criticize his 14 tackles or his defensive prowess. I guess I mis-stated what I was trying to say. I am just questioning that 12 of his 14 tackles were downfield, after a first down was gained. I realize some of those may have been a 1 or 2 yard gain. It just sounds like 2 stops seems low. No disrespect to Keys at all.
