I find it interesting that Nassib's yards per completion is so low that Q. That tells me we are calling a lot of short passes and being conservative. But at the same time Nassib's completion % is low, which tells me he gets off to a slow start. Would being more aggressive help? The second Q is Nassib's worst completion % Q by far. However it is also his best yards per completion Q and the teams best ppg Q. That tells me we are more aggressive. We just need him to be better at completing passes. The third Q we always try and run the ball and it always seems like a wasted Q. Our D usually holds but our O does nothing that Q. Nassib's rating is the best in the 3rd Q, and it is also the Q he throws it the least. The difference vs the 1Q however is his yards per completion. The overall O is conservative (more runs), but at the same time we allow him to do more than dump it off. This brings up an interesting question. Is Nassib's production because he feels settled in? Or is it because we play off the running game this Q? If it is the former, then we need to throw it more. If it is the latter, then we need to be better at running the ball. For the most part we have been behind in the 4th Q. And that shows as Nassib has thrown a lot more passes that Q. His numbers are solid across the board in the 4th. So we shouldn't be scared to throw it more. So the Qs we throw it more and are more aggressive we score 15.6 ppg. The other two Qs we score 8.9 ppg. When we are conservative his completion % is 65.7%, while it is only 60.4% when we are aggressive. However his QB rating is higher when we are aggressive 94.8 vs 89.5. I will trade completion % off any day for the points. [/QUOTE]
