What's it all mean? I was bored and looked up some numbers, that's what.
:nervous:
Current D overall is:
3rd against the run
7th against the pass
10th in points allowed.
With the way the secondary is playing, that's pretty good to still be ranked that high. By comparison, NE and the Jests are right there with us in total points allowed per game,with 17 and 15 ppg, but their O scores enough so that it's not an issue.
Looking at our 17.7 ppg allowed average, it's right in there with where we've been:
23 ppg in 2002.
17 and change 2003
(If I recall, it was around 19 in 2001.)
Our run stopping has improved:
130 ypg in 2002
100 ypg 2003
91 this year.
Our passing not so much so:
191 passing yards game in 2002
169 last year
180 this year
In take-away/give away
-12 in 2002
-16 in 2003
0 so far this year.
3rd down conversions stopped:
41% in 2002
38% in 2003
36% so far
Like we are already knew, the O has gotten worse:
Points scored:
23 ppg in 2002
15 ppg in 2003
12 ppg this year.
Rushing:
4.1 per carry/99 ypg, with 10 runs of 20 or more yards - 2002
3.9 per carry/104 ypg, with 6 runs of 20 or more yards - 2003
3.7 per carry/100 ypg with 3 runs of 20 or more yards - so far
3rd down conversion rate
42.5% in 2002
31.6% in 2003
35% so far
Penalties (by the O):
112 for 1031 yards in 2002
106 for 891 in 2003
44 for 410 so far this year.
Overall worst trend is that we still have a 1 TD gap between points allowed and points we score. 1 more TD a game and we have a better shot at a winning record. That's pathetic.
Back to 1999/00/01, we had the same problem. allow 21 points a game, only score 19. Allow 19 points a game, only score 14, etc.
ONE FREAKING TD! Stopping the run and being able to run the ball are key. Start Willis this Sunday, coach.
I'm better now.
