Live Press Conference with G-Man @ Noon

[teeray]

 

TOP is based on making plays, third downs. Which is why yards are always important. Our TOP is achieved mostly from our sluggish offense taking so much time pre-snap after converting a few yards. TOP can be an important stat, but isn't crucial to having a top defense or offense. The Saints have a high powered offense, and a top five defense as an example.

 

1996 (TAM): 28th total offense, 22th rushing offense, 29th passing offense

1997 (TAM): 29th total offense, 11th rushing offense, 30th passing offense

1998 (TAM): 22nd total offense, 4th rushing offense, 27th passing offense

1999 (TAM): 28th total offense, 15th rushing offense, 30th passing offense

2013 (CAR): 26th total offense, 11th rushing offense, 29th passing offense 

 

This is what I posted, and it shows Shula's ineptness.

 

I'd like to see a list of highest TOP teams versus records in the last four years. Then maybe a list of highest rated offenses versus records.

 

 

TOP per possession is one of many stats that make up my point but you are so far off the tracks I don't know how to get it back.  It isn't just one stats it is how each stats effects other total numbers both offensively and defensively.  That includes TOP.  TOP is not necessary to have an efficient offense (after all my argument is efficiency over total yardage and total points), but it is a factor in limiting possessions which effects total offense and defense.

 

But for the record, New Orleans was #3 in the NFL in TOP per possession, right behind us at #2.

I remember last year, some wanted a great DT and some wanted a CB because we were getting torched.  Gman wisely double dipped on the DLine and it automatically made our secondary better, not great, but better.

 

Same will happen with the Oline.  Get some bigger, younger, tougher guys in there and all of a sudden your QB will face less pressure, sacks and hits.  Your RB's will all of a sudden have holes and get more yds, and your WR's will have a little more time to complete routes, making them more open.

 

You guys screaming for a host of WR's is like wanting to purchase bunch of sports cars and put them in the middle of a forest.  Not much you can do with them until there are roads.

what do you think we'll see when we compare the best offenses with TOP and defense?

Wait so you're saying a high scoring offense can have a high TOP?

 

Then what have you been arguing?

[TheRumGone]

The key is for this offense to remain similar but also have those big plays splashed in there. We shouldn't be leading the league in TOP but we should be top ten. Find balance.

Some correlation that might help the conversation. Right now TOP has been brought into the discussion as if it were the only stat worth using to decide which team wins a game. Our offense is bad, it's obvious, regardless of how good our TOP is.

i agree TOP is not the sole standard... but i disagree that our offense is bad. good 3rd down % and red zone numbers prove we're pretty good on offense.

That efficiency is more important than total yards and total points. 

 

We were top 10 in the most important offensive efficiency stats, went 12-4, and won the South. 

[GreatPoupon]

agree... the efficiency tie in more numbers than just a blanket total like yardage. there is nothing to adjust the totals to make them meaningful. like yards per carry. RB #1 1500 yards and RB #2 1300 yards. only RB #2 averaged 5.0 ypc vs RB #1 3.5 ypc. who's better?

Geebus.  That is literally not what anyone has said.  I am beginning to think you are just trolling for kicks. 

[Guest shitposting]

That efficiency is more important than total yards and total points. 

 

We were top 10 in the most important efficiency stats, went 12-4, and won the South.  So what are people complaining about?

 

Total points is how you win games, and the top teams on third downs besides Carolina were Denver, San Diego, and New Orleans. 

 

Now that you've completed the circle I'm done.

[EightyNine]

That efficiency is more important than total yards and total points. 

 

We were top 10 in the most important offensive efficiency stats, went 12-4, and won the South. 

And got shut out in the 2nd half of the playoff game.

I know thats not fair, but its where a lot of this is coming from.

[GreatPoupon]

total points for minus total points against is how you win games.
