Call me crazy, but we might have improved the pass rush after all

I may be off on this one but I see so much bullshit in general, that has stats to back it up. You can twist numbers all around by changing the way you get them.

At the end of the day it’s just how Clowney compares to Burns. I would think Wonnum is better than YGM at this point in his career and the rest are rotational rushers that would be a huge bonus if any of them can produce.

He wasn't using stats. He was pulling poo out of his ass.

For as hyped as he was and as big of a name as he is, Clowneys stats are not that great. 

Well the hype was generational pass rusher.  Like hall of fame level player.  He's not that good but he is a good edge.

That term gets thrown around way too often.

One could argue our RUSH defense should be much improved.  

An improved Rush defense combined with an improved offense, should inn theory, improve the pass rush just because of those 2 things. 

Bryce Young passes the ball to Xavier Leggette, XL turns up field and levels Derek Carr for a monster sack?

They obviously focused on stopping the run, if that's effective they would have more opportunities at 3rd and long pass rushes. Evero also is willing to send like 5,6,7 dudes on a blitz when he gets the chance. I'm not expecting any one player to consistently pressure the qb off the edge though

Three times huh? 

Opponent Pass Attempts (per game):

https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-pass-attempts-per-game

Carolina: 28 3

Minnesota: 35.6

 

 

 

 

Pass attempts is not the same as pass rush snaps. 
 

wonnum was one of 51 players with 300 pass rush snaps. His pass rush pressure rating was 43rd out 51, his win rate was last. He’s one of the most inefficient pass rushers in the nfl. 
 

Burns according to advanced stats on ESPN had 189 pass rush snaps and was doubled on 14% of them.

 

but let’s not compared Wonnum to Burns, that’s not fair to wonnum.
 

compare him to YGM.
 

YGM - higher pressure rate, better win rate, better run defender. 
For those PFF people, higher overall grade. 

so yeah….

I never saw a cooler play than in that bowl game. He never really lived up to that but hey, still makes some plays.

He was like, ‘nah fug y’all we win’ end of story.

Theres way more generational prospects than there are generational players.

A generational player does not come around every year. They come around once in a decade, maybe two decades.  So I do not agree about generational prospects. You cannot predict them, they rise to the top when the games are played.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
