    from PFF, Ranking the top wide receivers by open-target rate from 2023: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-top-wide-receivers-open-target-rate-separation-2023

    6. COOPER KUPP, LOS ANGELES RAMS

    Total Targets Open Targets Open-Target Rate
    100 87 87.0%

    Injuries have hampered Cooper Kupp over the past two seasons, but he still gained separation on 87 targets in 2023. The 31-year-old ranked second on the Rams in targets (100), target rate (27.2%) and gains of 20-plus yards (10). Kupp leads the Rams’ receiving corps in open-target rate over the past three seasons (86.8%) and ranks eighth in receiving yards (4,001) over that span.

    Well that’s not correct, and I would be embarrassed if I put that out.

    It looks to me like he’s counting the post-season in his numbers. Seems to me that most yearly stats count the regular season only, and if you are counting the playoffs you should openly say that since most people probably assume those kinds of stats are by default regular season only. So for example we always say Dickerson got 2105 yards in 84, not 2212 (which is what you get when you add the playoff game from that year).

    Been working on this for a while. Do NFL teams really NEED true No. 1 receivers anymore? Those teams without one are moving more and more to scheme and receiver distribution and location (H/T @gregcosell) to mitigate that deficit.
    …
    .

    Making No. 1 receivers out of the aggregate

    “It’s more about the collective unit of all those guys and just the rapport that they’re building with Jordan throughout the course of the offseason,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said of his receiver group…. “I’m excited to get to training camp with them.

    “All those guys had their moments where they were the leading receiver in a game. I feel really good about the collective unit. The hardest part is we feel so good about them, it’s hard to get everybody the amount of touches that you’d like to get, but that’s a good problem to have.”

    It’s a good problem to have when you’re not dependent on one receiver, and you can scheme your receivers open to their best abilities.

    I just think that was a combination of things, all unique to 2023. Higbee and Kupp being beat up when they were on the field and not their normal selves. Nacua actually being a rookie in certain ways in spite of not really being one in other spectacular ways. Robinson not really playing till the 2nd half of the season. Atwell not really being a solid 3rd or 4th WR type.

    This is kinda embarrassing.

    I was talking about the more substantive subject of helmet rankings.

    The Rams posted an outstanding record of 27-0 when Marshall Faulk rushed for 100+ yards.

    Knowledge relaxes me. Football is all about playing faster. You play faster when you know more.

    Knowledge… gives me that blank, thousand-mile-stare, as i recognize capitalism’s destruction of the biosphere, and the universe’s expansion into nothingness.

    The stat on protecting the QB: pretty big factor in getting to the playoffs, right? The Super Bowl winner placed second.

    The team with the best overall stats, offense and defense, isn’t always the winner, of course. No guarantees that regular season success translates post-season. But the eventual winner tends to rank highly, at least in certain areas. They likely have at least a solid defense, do well on third down conversions, and protect the QB. The latter also usually means the QB stays healthy, which is vital for wins, especially post-season.

    Would be interesting to see someone review stats for the last ten years, and see if there’s any general correlation. Most important stats, etc. etc.

    Of course, the game has changed. A great running attack once was a critical indicator. Not so much any more. Though I’d bet it matters even now during a playoff run.

    Hope all is well —
