Excellent read.  Thanks!

I was interested in your reference to the sack stats in 2014 and the 2015 preseason.

Here's a fun stat for you. Number of sacks allowed in 2014's preseason: 10 (with countless QB hurries and an injured franchise quarterback.) Number of sacks allowed in 2015's preseason: 5 (despite about a 20% increase in total number of snaps.) Obviously there are too many variables to suggest the offensive line will allow half of last year's sacks, but given what the team was starting last year it's not really that much of a stretch.

I've also been struck by how few sacks we've allowed this preseason.  It got me doing some number crunching.  I'm about to post my findings in a new topic. 

There's not a perfect correlation between low sacks in the preseason and low sacks in the regular season.  But, there is an intriguing pattern with very low sacks in the preseason (both in absolute numbers and as a % of offensive plays) matching our best winning seasons, while we had an extremely high level of preseason sacks in 2010, when we went 2 - 14.

I wonder if the low preseason sack level correlates somehow with a greater level of preseason intensity & competitiveness which translates into success in the regular season...  Anyway, one of those stats that makes me go "Hmmmm..... that's interesting."

thanks for the opportunity jeremy! i'm pretty excited about this.

you all may notice some technical quirks in the article (formatting stuff, mostly) which are a result of transferring the article through different editors. this should be resolved by next week.

I actually didn't like this post I quoted. Kinda sucked actually. But I pied it based on the epic novel you wrote. Nice job dude!

      Watching Rams/Eagles. Celebrating the St Louis Rams team that won the SB (Warner, Holt, etc..) while playing in Los Angeles seems wrong.  If I were in Los Angeles, no way I would attend a Rams game.  Probably wouldn't attend a Chargers game either.  Becoming a fan of a team that likes to move around just seems like a waste of energy as a fan.

      The only responses I am getting after providing statistics to put opinions in perspective seem to be from people who get angry and attack stats and people whose opinions differ from their own.  Have people on the Huddle ever overreacted, exaggerated, been wrong about players before?  Sure they have, so an alternative opinion with statistical support should not cause you to attack me or my views.  I am sorry your public schools failed you.  But your reactions are very revealing--you are stuck in Piaget's concrete operational stage--learn logic, how to debate a topic, and learn the difference between facts and emotional opinions.  When I paralleled Cam's stats with Jones' to point out how remarkably similar their careers have been to this point, It blew some 40 watt minds.  I think Jones, in a better situation, could be good--that should not upset you--

      penalties and poor hands is what cost us in the RZ Bryce missing "high" in the back of the end zone is not an issue, you're taught as a QB to throw high in the back of end zone were only the receiver can catch or no one The duo of Ian Thomas and Tommy tremble can both go at the end of the season, both been here for multiple seasons and they've barely developed
