[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 3110640, member: 78"]
last year's offense wasn't good per play but must've had decent success rates - i don't know where to find stats about tackles for loss given up

Dungey had roughly the same per pass numbers against clemson - he only ran for 11 yards.  better than -42 (goofy college stats)

a lot of the nfl analytics nerds pin sacks on qbs because even when the line is terrible, some of them can the ball out.

dungey probably turned a bunch of sacks into 1 yard runs and it probably helped them with their success rates.  that, turnovers, and the kicking game is the explanation for how a team that was average per play was way above average in scoring.  (Last year wasn't a big 4th down extra play keeping drives going year)

clemson got so much pressure and is so good, what difference does it make whether you lose 5 or throw incomplete, either way, you're not going to succeed in those downs and distances

but going forward, get players back where they ought to be, communicate a little better, get a little better at throwing it away, throw more screens.  I am more convinced by the posts and the paper that miscommunication is as much or more of a problem than the tackles just being hopeless
