4.0 is literally the standard.

 

Fear. Us. Forever.

 

go Bucs and Cowboys this week

 

Stats don’t always offer a clear frame of reference without context

I bet half those backs with 4.0+ YPC are change of pace backs, who only come in against loose defensive fronts in passing situations. They get to run the ball at unexpected times - for example, against zone defense on 2nd and 13 when it’s easy to get 6-8 yards if your blockers don’t suck. Or for example, they often get to run counter plays and draws and delays, fooling a defense that is overpursuing with their pass rush.

That’s very different scenario from a player like Fournette who, with NO passing offense and a highly predictable OC, is asked to try to carve 3.5-4.0 YPC out of 8 man boxes, when the defense already KNOWS he is either hitting the A or B gap and isn’t running a toss / pitch / stretch. When the defense KNOWS first down is always a run. When, every time Fournette is having a good game, we keep doing the same thing until defenses figure it out and start stuffing every run.

We give Fournette so much volume in shitty situations that I feel like doing much better than 4.0 YPC is impossible and even Barkley / Gurley wouldn’t succeed. And he’s just one example.

YPC is a better indicator of how effective your rushing attack is, as a TEAM, than it is an accurate stat for which RB are most efficient. Sometimes RB can’t help that their OC always rams them into an inside blitz, or can’t help that their blocking is terrible.

 

And a 9 win AFC North champ and probably a 9 win 6 seed too

 

You know the Browns can only win eight games this year, right?

 

Go Browns
Go Bears
Go Chargers
Go Saints

 

Conceptually, why do I need a valid license to buy liquor. Its expiration means I cant drive, not that I'm not 24

 

Prisco is 100% biggest turd on the internet.

 

Anyone here by chance have an account on The Athletic/know how to get around the paywall? I wanna read this article

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Continuing a family tradition of...

 

I love the Miami Dolphins. But throwing two laterals on a long TD on the last play of the game will not pay off in the long run despite the drooling over it by the media.

 

I love the Jacksonville Jaguars but blowing complete ass will not work out in the long run.

 

last stat of the day from me:

Dolphins are 12-4 in the last 16 games that Tannehill has started

 

Idk how Mahomes still has doubters, just being willfully contrarian at this point.

 

Prisco 'hates' Russell Wilson too

I think hes basically just Skip Bayless lite at this point

 

Prisco is the skip bayless double light

 

lmaoooo

 

Well that was fuckin weird

 

I love the Houston Texans but you shouldn’t be using a QB as your slot receiver

 

It worked out for Terrell Pryor


Kidding, kinda

 

I love the Jacksonville Jaguars but for the love of GOD do not draft a QB with a high pick this year.

Focus on the running game and putting some weapons in this offense. So that when we draft an actually worthwhile QB in 2020 he has everything set up for him.

Hiring the right coaches is the thing I’m afraid of. I doubt we can do better than Coughlin / Del Rio. Nobody wants to come to fucking Jacksonville.

 

Yuppp very nervous

 

i have one. no idea how to get around the paying though. want me to copy and paste the article to a PM?

 

I wonder if McKenzie will get another gm gig by next year

 

Jags. They trade Ramsey. I get IRRATIONALLY UPSET
