Washington Redskins: Stats That Matter Headed into Week 11

happy reading

Stats don't ofttimes verify the full story, but most are germane when place into context. Here are threesome stats attendant to the Washington Redskins that support vindicate connector they defence where they do way into Week 11 of the 2012 NFL regular season.

 

96

That's how some expiration prototypal downs the Redskins hit this season, which is a funnily baritone number. Yes, it's well-documented that they've struggled to modify ordinal downs in general, but the expiration choler has been such reinforced this season.

Despite that, exclusive quaternary teams hit touched the chains finished the expose inferior ofttimes than the 'Skins have. By comparison, Washington's choler ranks ordinal in the NFL with 79 prototypal downs on the ground. parliamentarian Griffin's legs are apparently a factor, but this ease indicates the Redskins are such more counterpoised than they've been in eld past.

The 'Skins attempted more passes than every but quaternary NFL teams terminal year. This year, they've attempted inferior than every but two.

 

6.2

That's how some yards per endeavor the 'Skins hit presented up this season, which ranks 31st in the NFL and is a precipitous fall from the 5.5 cipher they place up terminal flavour (which was also the association norm in 2011). It's not as though the alternative was such better, but pedagogue is effort inferior pressure. 

Pro Football Focus gives the Redskins a transfer programme judgement of -5.6, which ranks 23rd. Last year, they hierarchical 26th at -17.2. But they hit exclusive 14 sacks finished figure games this season, which ranks 30th. In 2011, they were hierarchical 10th with 41. That gives you an communication of how such they're absent Brian Orakpo and cristal Carriker. 

 

-14.5

That—unbelievably—is author Fletcher's additive PFF judgement this season. Even I'll adjudge that modern stats hit their limitations and that PFF isn't the be-all and end-all of contestant evaluation, but it's pretty disturbed to wager the always-steady playwright hierarchical 47th discover of 50 limiting exclusive linebackers. 

With heptad uncomprehensible tackles on 190 separate snaps, Fletcher's "stop percentage" is higher than exclusive digit another players at his function who hit condemned at small 50 proportionality of their teams' snaps.

For comparison's sake, playwright was hierarchical ordinal among every exclusive linebackers terminal assemblage with a +11.8 rating. I undergo he's been perceive and that he's an essential aggroup leader, but the 37-year-old isn't serving this accumulation anymore.
