Last season, opposing defenders entered a 5-foot halo in Goff’s field of vision and decreased his ability to complete passes (i.e. caused disruption) at the 21st-highest rate of 14.4 percent. This season, though, Goff has seen the opposition’s disruptive pressure nearly double to 27.6 percent (sixth-most). In terms of win share, my measurements have the O-line unit going from seventh-best in 2018 (2.7) to 24th this season (1.4). Increased penalties and decreased efficiency in the run game partly drive this win-share dip — and act as a double-whammy in terms of also setting up Goff for passing downs where pressure is more likely. I don’t think Sean McVay wanted Goff to spend a game attempting the third-most passing attempts in NFL history — 68 in the Week 4 loss to Tampa Bay — but L.A.’s lackluster O-line play is throwing off the team’s offensive balance.
well i hope all this forces goff to be more quick with his decisions and maybe even force him to see the field better. read defenses better. know his own offense better.
i think in the long run this should be a good experience for him.
but yeah. things had been going too good for goff. this was bound to happen at some point. but this guy has a track record of overcoming things like this. let’s see how he adjusts to this.
