In stats, there’sa column for these two stats. Is it tackles attempted and those which were missed?
Or successful tackles made and tackles missed?
Tackles means tackles that the player made individually or completed (last play to touch the other team's player in a group tackle).
Missed tackles is a broken stat. It means that at one point the player engaged the other team's player. Sometimes this means that the player missed the tackle or the tackle was broken (one on one tackling in space where the ball carrier pushes through the tackler.
OR
Sometimes it means that the player engaged the other team's player with multiple other players and didn't end up making the tackle, but the ball carrier was tackled nonetheless. This would typically be recorded as an assist. But the game doesn't record assists in this case. They get recorded as missed.
