It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It really comes down to websites trying to quantify a facet of the game that is almost impossible to summarize with numbers. Stats almost never tell the whole story, but they're far more representative when you're talking about QB's, RB's, WR's, team defensive stats, etc. The complexity of OL play is so subtle that it makes this kind of analysis just mental masturbation.
They used a 6th OL for much of the game against the Vikings.
The run was mostly shut down against Miami.
Are people not watching the games? A lot more of the 'analysis' than usual has been absolutely terrible.
While I appreciate what you're saying, and I don't disagree with you, I was referring to Patsfans.com posters. I've seen people here
- Defend the run game with raw YAC (Triumph) and 0 context
- Defend the OL, claiming it's giving Brady more time than last year (AzPatsfan), with 0 context
- Ignore Gronk's hitch/stumble on that wide open pass to him (damn near everyone)
- etc...
That would be awesome ....if...BB kept on the roster the one RB he trusted down the stretch last year. But alas, BB chose to keep the RB he didn't trust down the stretch last year instead. And based on 2014 deployment, our goal line back is our 3rd down scat back.
Very confused!!!
Cluthcing tighter yes. But he is not as elusive or forceful as he once was with yards after contact.so far, i've liked Ridleys play though...he seems to be clutching onto that ball Alot tighter.
It's not just you. They're incredibly predictable right now because they have to be. The pass protection is forcing their hand. Brady has to rely on the guy(s) who gets open the quickest to avoid the hit/sack. That's why Edelman is leading the team in receptions.
I have a feeling even if the o line was great..he would still be leading in receptions and amendola would still be in the dog house. He is still our Best WR we have so he should be leading in receptions. Only real guy Brady trusts as you said to get open quick.It's not just you.

He's definitely holding the ball a lot tighter and maintains it through the end of the play. He also seems to be running a lot higher than he used to.so far, i've liked Ridleys play though...he seems to be clutching onto that ball Alot tighter.
Teams are ranked according to Adjusted Line Yards. Based on regression analysis, the Adjusted Line Yards formula takes all running back carries and assigns responsibility to the offensive line based on the following percentages:
These numbers are then adjusted based on down, distance, situation, opponent, and the difference in rushing average between shotgun compared to standard formations. Finally, we normalize the numbers so that the league average for Adjusted Line Yards per carry is the same as the league average for RB yards per carry. These stats are explained further here.
- Losses: 120% value
- 0-4 Yards: 100% value
- 5-10 Yards: 50% value
- 11+ Yards: 0% value

1) We were not a run-first team last year. We ended up 10th in rushing.personally, I think we should go back to being a run first team like we were last year. it will help the Oline to get more into a rhythm and be physical, and it will help when we do pass. Feed Ridley the rock.
please, no more vereen/bolden on the goal line.
