    I do the averages for the last 5 games only, and then compare those averages to rankings for the 16 game (so far) league-wide averages:

    Yards allowed per game: 254. Would rank 1st.

    Points allowed per game: 22.4.Would rank 19th.

    Turnovers per game: 0.8. Would rank 31st.

    Sacks per game: 2.2. Would rank 27th.

    % of 3rd down conversions allowed: 35.7%. Would rank 5th.

    Thats some odd stats, there.   First in restricting yards per game, but only 19th in points allowed.

    Still winning without getting turnovers.   Imagine if they were just middle of the pack in turnovers.

     

    Merry Holiday, humans.

    That won’t get fixed this season, and that’s what will keep them from realizing their full potential.

    If only there was time to complete a Dale Carnegie course before the playoffs, but that takes 8 weeks.

    Damn it all.

    Sacks alone are not enough of an indicator so I will look up up rankings for pressure percentage. But on that I will have to jerry-rig stats for the last 5 games. There’s a way to do that using PRF boxscores.

    What I came up with was, across the last 5 games they are averaging a pressure percentage of 16.9%, which would be 32nd in the league if across 15 games.

    That’s actually lower than their existing 15 game average of 18.6% which ranks 28th.

    Their pressure percentage actually declined in the last 3 games. In fact against Arizona and Cleveland it comes out to 26.7%, which would be ranked 3rd in the league. My best guess (though I have no details) is that they came out of the bye doing something new that was working but then the next 3 teams saw it on tape and had an answer for it. That is, Morris drew something up to use personnel a certain way but it got figured out.

    The PRF stats do show that one guy who either hit a wall or was schemed for is Bryan Young. In games 9-12 he has 5 pressures in 4 games. In games 13-15, where the whole team drops off, he has 1 in 3 games. He’s a rookie so whatever it is (drop off, schemed for, both) it’s possible to fix it in the off-season.
