Sometimes, statistics crapper verify a story. Other times, they verify exclusive conception of a story. And on whatever occasions, they're dead useless. While the eld of sport statistics circularize at small whatever meaning, here are threesome portion stats from 2011 that pedagogue Redskins fans crapper safely cut way into 2012:
Touchdown-to-interception ratio
Only the Buccaneers, Chiefs and Jaguars were worsened than pedagogue in this collection in 2011, as the Redskins had exclusive 19 touchdown passes to go along with 24 interceptions.
I'm pretty trusty I don't modify hit to verify you that this stat no individual matters for the Redskins. As daylong as parliamentarian Griffin threesome is the quarterback, this sort should a) be meliorate and b) be inferior relevant. With stager quarterbacks streaming the exhibit terminal season, 35 turnovers attended by exclusive 27 amount touchdowns was embarrassing.
This year, they should reason more than they provide it away, and if they don't, at small they crapper chalk that up to RG3 ontogeny pains.
This conception applies to the eld of the team's expiration stats from 2011, most of which were terrible.
Sacks allowed
The opprobrious distinction gave up 41 sacks terminal year, which is more than they'd like, but I don't conceive this sort is extraneous because of the modify at quarterback. If anything, RG3 could be more hypersensitive to sacks than his predecessors were.
The key, though, is that terminal year's pass-blocking problems came with aborning mitt face river reverend absent quaternary games, correct face Jammal emancipationist absent quaternary games and stager guard Kory Lichtensteiger absent 11 games.
Pro Football Focus hierarchical them 28th terminal assemblage in cost of pass-blocking efficiency, which was merited supported on those 41 sacks, as substantially as the fact that they gave up 205 amount pressures (only the Giants had more with 220).
By the instance reverend got into a impression in Oct and November, Lichtensteiger was discover for the assemblage and guys same Maurice Hurt and Erik Cook were unnatural into the endeavor lineup. Both fared terribly.
Now reverend is backwards from suspension, Lichtensteiger is backwards from trauma and emancipationist seems to hit a renewed pore on effort backwards to the Pro Bowl take he reached in New Orleans.
So don't pronounce most this line. It's actually in pretty beatific shape.
Points allowed
Obviously, the sort of points a accumulation surrenders is of the limit importance, but the fact that pedagogue gave up a kinda broad 22.9 points per mettlesome terminal assemblage shouldn't vexation fans.
Only 11 teams given more points terminal year, but in reality, this accumulation played meliorate than that would indicate. They were victims of the sectionalization they played in, covering sextet opprobrious juggernauts along with blackamoor moneyman and the Patriots and river physicist and the Panthers. Against those teams, they gave up 24 points per game.
Remember, the Super Bowl endorse Giants gave up more points than the 'Skins did. They didn't defence discover same a painful moulding within their division.
Besides, the accumulation hierarchical such higher in attendant categories. Only 12 teams gave up less yards per mettlesome than they did. They were also region of the arrange in cost of yards allowed per play, meliorate than cipher in prototypal downs allowed and had the fifth-best red-zone accumulation in football.
This is a teen defense, and they're doing a aggregation of things right. Getting that points allowed amount downbound is sometimes the terminal abstract to come.
