Weird Right?

This is nuts. We should be so much better on D given this stat:

So this is saying when we do not blitz our d line gets pressure (what defines pressure ) on the opposing teams QB 40% of the time. Correct? So this ultimately is because of Alton Robinson and Kendall Coleman obviously. Weird stat and I would’ve never thought that it would be that high.

just shows pressure that doesnt keep people in the pocket doesnt really help.

Excellent point. The ends are doing their jobs very well, but it doesn’t mean anything when the QB is escaping pocket and being successful that way.

Dont we give up like 200 yards rushing per game on the ground or something crazy like that?

 

[Trueblue25]

Predictability got Ward canned.

we lost the pitt game because the avg QB made so many plays where he got pressured..

This is nuts. We should be so much better on D given this stat:

I see it as a team strength, but one that has been largely negated by opposing OCs who (first and foremost) run the ball a ton and then dial up quick passes when they have to throw the ball. It seems that all year, Coleman and Robinson (less so unfortunately) get close to the opposing QB as he is releasing the pass.

The problem is not causing pressure ...the problem is the QB always finding someone open to throw to in the face of it

It seemed like every QB we played knew pre snap where to go with the ball which renders a pass rush useless. Somehow we are the only team that needs an OL to block long enough for our QB to get to his 3rd progression.

Sounds like we need an analytics unit to keep on top of these things. If Ward were transparent, someone inside the program needed to be able to see that and tell him.

Which means that the dbacks haven't performed like we expected.

Did we get credit for 4 QB pressures on the FSU trick play?

Skews the data.
