Thanks for the compliment Sting. Like I said, it was a project, I think there are only one of two ways to count up the pass target data:
1) Manually scanning all the box scores every week. Which is what I suspect the few other sites that have this data actually do. or 2) Creating a process that reads in the data and accurately accounts for each event that represents a pass target or redzone target.
#2 is not easy of course, but I'm a pretty good statistical programmer (currently my day job). I think you could also accomplish the same thing using a language like C++.

This is great information Jake. I am pleased with the production of Wayne, Gonzo, Burleson, Rod Smith, and Coles should get a bump in 2005. I like my receiving corp even more, after looking at the numbers. Thank you.
