14 games in:
2017 overall rank #16 vs 2016 #31. Improved by allowing 61 less yards per game.
2017 PPG #30 25.9 PPGvs. 2016 #30 28.3 PPG. Improved by 2.4 PPG. That said – 0 teams in the NFL let up more than 27.1 PPG. Last year two let up over 28 and 1 over 30. Interesting in that regards and also why the ranking didn’ change.
2017 Passing #21 overall. QB rating is a 102 against them. 2016 passing #21 overall QB rating 101 against them.
2017 26 total sacks in 14 games. 2016 26 sacks in 16 games.
2017 #7 run D vs 2016 #31 run D — here was the one actual major improvement. That said – how was it done? Selling out on the run and playing safeties 75 yards off the line which allowed QB rating to nudge upward.
Takeaways – 2017 #32 with 11. 2016 #30 with 13.
Given Myles Garrett and guys in their 2nd year who were getting over their rookie learning curve and improvement really didn’t happen except in one area – this includes 2 1st round picks going the D’s way including #1 overall in Garrett.
Horton – blew 2 14 point leads – none in Q4.
Willimas blew 1 14 point lead – it was in Q4.
3rd down conversions 40.9% in 2017 – 45.1% 2016
65.85% to 66.67% red zone scoring percentage.
Overall looking at everything – there really wasn’t any major improvement. Anyone else want to throw any stats in? Don’t know where to find QB pressures.
Freedom!!!
Our defense got SIGNFICANTLY worse when Ogbah, Meder, and Collins went down for the year.
Agree with this, we also only got about a half year out of Garrett…
I can’t say I’m Greg Williams’ biggest fan, but I don’t think he’s the most glaring problem with our coaching staff.
