per ESPN, "...our pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer."

Based on images in the same article it appears that most of the failure was our interior OL (note the 2! Jets DTs in the top 10).

So wait a second...if the stat mandates that the lineman hold their blocks for 2.5 seconds, and Sam is getting the ball out in less time than that most plays, how do they figure that one out?  If the play is designed to be out of the QBs hand in less than 2.5 seconds, then is it really a loss for the o-line?

I mean they probably win the pass-block at around 2.5 seconds, but likely won't get a sack until (likely between) 3-4 seconds. So the play is designed to get the ball out quickly but doesn't mean your receivers will always be open that fast which led to a lot of quick check-downs and screen plays. 

I think its a loss for us cause it leads to 7234667 check downs to CMC and we need to limit the amount of hits this man takes on a weekly basis

FWIW, the scout that thought bringing Elflien here was a good idea after looking at his horrible game film needs to be canned, pronto.  Heck, most of us saw multiple clips of him getting trucked over with his previous teams and thought he looked absolutely horrible!  How in the world did a scout likely see those very same film clips and say: 'yeah, this guy would be a solid addition to our OL'?

It means that 20 percent of our pass plays took longer than 2.5 seconds. 80 percent didnt. But people here gotta Chicken Little everything.
