A lot can be shown in yards after the catch per reception allowed. One area where Skrine had Callahan beat is yards per target. You can see almost across the board that while Skrine was a better version of himself playing in the Bears defense, he was not quite up to the level that Callahan played in 2018. Skrine passer rating allowed dropped from 116.8 to 96.9, but that is still a decline from Callahan.īelow you can see their yards per route run allowed, yards per target allowed, yards per snap, targets per snap and snaps per reception.
