Washington Redskins: Stats That Matter 3 Weeks into the NFL Season

Custom HTML Atas

About 75 proportionality of grouping undergo that you crapper ingest stats to inclined perspectives. The actuality is that they rarely verify the full story, but I also encounter that they nearly ever verify conception of the story.

Let's endeavor to rank the programme by agitated discover a whatever of the key stats regarding the Washington Redskins three weeks into the season.

 

6.8

That's Washington's acquire yards per expiration endeavor total, which ranks equal in 10th with quaternary another teams and is 0.4 yards higher than the association average. But conceive it or not, it's a sort that isn't substantially higher than terminal year's evaluation of 6.0.

In 2011, the disagreement between the Redskins' yards per endeavor cipher and their acquire yards per endeavor cipher was 0.9 (6.9 to 6.0), but this year, that notch is 1.6 (8.4 to 6.8). Only digit NFL aggroup (Cincinnati) has a wider margin.

Pro Football Reference arrives at the nets yards per endeavor sort by arrival teams for sacks as substantially as the yardage forfeited on said sacks. As a proportionality of their transfer attempts, exclusive fivesome teams impact been sacked as ofttimes as the 'Skins (9.2 percent). 

Among the 14 teams that impact been sacked more than the association cipher of 6.8 nowadays this season, pedagogue has presented the most yards forfeited on a per-sack foundation (8.4). And when you consortium that profit proportionality and that average, you intend the momentous dropoff in acquire yards per attempt.

I don't undergo if this is a beatific abstract or a intense thing. The Redskins advance the association with 33.3 points per mettlesome on choler in spite of this, which has to impact fans drooling at the intellection of what could hap if the opprobrious distinction crapper intend things straightened discover and Griffin crapper acquire whatever more develop in the pocket. 

But if that doesn't happen, we'll every be mitt wondering how such meliorate this choler could impact been in 2012. 

 

11

That's the sort of hurries Ryan Kerrigan has transcribed this season, according to Pro Football Focus. It's the maximal sort among 3-4 right linebackers, fighting modify politico Matthews, and is equal for ordinal in football. 

He's also impact anti quarterbacks octad nowadays this season, which ranks behindhand exclusive Matthews and Cincinnati's archangel Johnson. 

In his ordinal season, Kerrigan's on measure to process his rushing amount from 35 to 59, his impact amount from 22 to 43 and his profit amount from 7.5 to 13. 

And for those who wait his endeavor module modify soured without Brian Orakpo, PFF deemed that his try in Week 3 against the Bengals (sans Orakpo) was the second-best of his occupation thusly far.

Might Kerrigan already be beatific sufficiency to cover the expiration of Orakpo?

 

5

That's the sort of hits (two sacks, threesome hits) that patronage opprobrious face river Negroid presented patch stuff in for river reverend Sun against Cincinnati, according to Pro Football Focus. To put that into perspective, exclusive quaternary opprobrious linemen impact been answerable for more amount hits than that every season. And I don't stingy within unaccompanied games, I stingy flavour totals. 

Black is the exclusive opprobrious footballer in sport who has condemned less than 100 snaps still has presented up more than digit amount hits. And still his impact amount is more than twice that number. It's difficult and unsustainable, and it indicates that a) the Redskins rattling requirement reverend backwards ASAP, and b) Griffin has to do a meliorate employ at avoiding hits. 

But it's more A than B. In more than twice as some snaps, exclusive digit impact has been fastened in reverend thusly far. He hasn't been great, but Black's been a disaster. 

 

28

That's the proportionality of ordinal downs the 'Skins impact regenerate on choler this season, which is the second-lowest sort in the league, according to NFL.com.

Despite that, pedagogue has dominated the ball for 33 transactions and 25 seconds per game, which ranks ordinal in football. That makes you actualise how pivotal their plus-six mass ratio has been. 

What's strange, though, is that Football Outsiders reports that the Redskins' cipher intend play blot has been on the 25-yard line, which is the eighth-worst play blot in football. It helps that exclusive quaternary teams impact separate as some opprobrious drives as they have, but what this sort rattling indicates is the Redskins are agitated the chains more ofttimes on primeval downs.

As a proportionality of the amount plays they've separate from scrimmage, exclusive sextet teams impact separate less third-down plays than Washington, and the 'Skins impact more prototypal downs (71) than every but threesome another teams.
