Are these shirts getting us extra yards?

Could possibly slow a strong runner like DJ down too by making it easier to get and maintain a grip on him as opposed to it being easier to break the grip on the other Jerseys with less stretch.

I see your point too.

Seems silly, but, these stretchy shirts are a thing now. The cotton shirts have far less give and probably slow the runner down quite a bit more. 

I really do think the stretch is getting us an extra yard or so as opposed to cotton ones being grabbed.

So, how much of that massive 3.9 yards per play was the benefit obtained from the shirt?

I’ve noticed a couple plays where a defender grabbed hold of the stretchy undershirt. In the case last week I felt that our player could have broken away from it if it wasn’t for the stretch. I think it’s bad for yardage as it allows the shirt to absorb the shock of the offensive player pulling away from the defender instead of the defender’s fingers. A non stretchy shirt, the first thing to give would be the fingers. This week looked the same. I see no advantage to us.

      I think it's more posturing towards the Bears fan base because he knows Johnson would be a long shot to take the job but it's who the fan base likely wants to pair with Williams. It's his way of making it look like they're turning him down as opposed to him turning them down. I think he'll consider the Jags and Patriots because of their QB situation, but I said it in a thread the other day, I very well could see him stay in Detroit for one last season to try and get hired by whoever has the #1 pick next year so he gets Manning as his QB.

      Young's Epic Throw

      You're not noticing though. Stroud had 6 career games in 2023 including 1 in the playoffs. He's fallen back to a level that's still above Young's best with 2 career games in 2024 with 300+ and a playoff game to come. He has 8 sub-200 games. He has 2 division titles with a 27.8% GWD success rate. Young had 2 career games in 2023 and 2 more in 2024. He has a 21.4% GWD success rate. He has one 300+ game to his name and 17 sub-200 games. Stroud had to slump to get to a level higher than Young. Young had to improve to get to a level lower than Stroud. Young has some catching up to do for him to be at Stroud's lowest point. Excuses need to stop about Young's supporting crew too. He has Hubbard, Thielen, Coker, J.Sanders and XL as his top 5 targets. The top 5 targets are 80% of a passing offense. Who do you think is holding Young back? Who are you replacing? In 2024, Stroud's top 5 targets have a 67.3% catch rate and a 52.9% success rate. Young's top 5 targets have a 72.3% catch rate and a 48.7% success rate. Hubbard is the one bringing down the passing success rate. Outside of Hubbard v Mixon after the catch, The Panthers have the better receiving unit. We're to believe the excuse that the skill position players and playcalling are holding back Young? #noticebetter
