    How do you judge a good defense?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Hardhatharry

    Points allowed, then you have to look at how good the offense is. Having a great defense will look even better when you find out how many more drives they had to shut down compared to defenses with better offenses. Yards per drive are also good. You really should look at everything and never focus on one thing too much.

     

    Ted Bruschi or whatever his name is used to do his own defensive rankings that were much better than anything I seen. I don't think he does them anymore.

    Trump Is Just A Terrible President, Totally Unfit For The Job

    "

    January 18, 2020: Alex Azar tries to speak to President Trump about the outbreak for the first time. President Trump ignores the warning. 

    Alex Azar speaks to President Trump on the phone for the first time about the virus. President Trump instead asks to discuss vaping and whether flavored vaping products would return to the market.

    “Trump’s advisers struggled to get him to take the virus seriously, according to multiple officials with knowledge of meetings among those advisers and with the president,” the Washington Post reports."

    I clearly don't see this the same way as the majority of the board, but that was NOT a good look for Trump. I've seen him "own" the room; many, many times. 

     

    That did not happen here; at all. The Hemmingway line was good, but this was a subpar performance.

     

    He'll have some really interesting tweets later tonight.

    Trump is only worried about votes, so he tells everyone task force meeting about coronavirus and shows propaganda video instead. Disgusting look for anyone to do something like that, but when your only objective is votes you do dumb things.

    Well, I don't know how you did that.  Try this.  

    [1]      Pull up this on your search engine. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/nfl/rb/2019

    scroll down to the 3rd section which is labled RECEIVING: Minimum 25 passes, 50 players ranked

    [2]      There is a top row on the chart the 11th column heading is "yards"  (total yards receiving for 2019). Go there and click on it to make it the parameter that the total chart is going to be sorted by.   This sorting gives you the total yards that player got by catching passes in 2019.

    [3]  Go down the list.  Go WAY down the list.  Near the bottom you find Singeltary.

     

    I guess I'm just simple.  I don't care to get into pissing contest about somebody's pet 27 term parameter about figuring out who is what.  IF the guy is 45th in the total number of yards he got as receiving passes, that gives me a clue and I'll ignore BS and nuanced tap dancing.

     

    RECEIVING: Minimum 25 passes, 50 players ranked

    • Passes includes all passes to this receiver, complete and incomplete.

    I would worry.  Rookies often get away with things.  The next year their weaknesses are on film to see. My opinion is that Singletary is about at his ceiling and the league will catch up with him.

    Nah not for him.

    Gee.  Singletary was #45 in RB receiving last year.  So, 32 teams had a better pass reciever than the Bills.  22 teams had TWO running backs that were better pass receiver than Singletary.    https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/nfl/rb/2019

     

    #47       Singletary             Buffalo  41 passes for 194 yards    

    #32      L,Murray                Saints     43 passes for 235 yards

    #16     K.Hunt                    Browns    44  passes for 285 yards

    #8    Da. Johnson             Arizona   47 passes for 370 yards

     

    I would like the Bills to be at lease in the top half to top quarter of the league.  If you think we should pass the ball more, putting an additional receiving threat on the field for every play seems like a good idea.  We are giving about 150 yards away AND adding a threat at RB pass catching will mean few double coverages on the top 2 wide receivers, and make them more effective.

     

    He will be better this year, last year he was a rookie. Don't worry.

    RB is a big need.  I do favor adding one that is a complete threat though.  A RB who can pass protect and catch the ball out of the backfield are important parts of the passing game too.  Right now Singletary is all we have and the offense changed dramatically when he was out getting breathers or missing games last season.  I am not interested in pushing our luck.  Get me another quality RB who has a complete game.  I don’t care where we find that RB, but we need one like that.  
     

    Edit: Singletary had 151 rush attempts (and 29 receptions) in 12 games in 2019.  I have to think that we’d have run the ball - and run it much more effectively - with a second quality RB getting touches.  

    Not really, they will be passing more this year.

    Why not 2nd? The Bills are going to draft BPA (as they should). It’s entirely possible that BPA in round 2 is one of those 4 or 5 RBs (Swift, Dobbins, Taylor, Edwards-Helaire, Akers). It doesn’t have to be a RB there but it could be a situation of “BPA meets last remaining need.”

     

    The other thing is that RB is the one position that they didn’t address in FA. That tells me that they want another young guy. Everywhere else they tried to add bodies to insulate against having to pick a guy. RB is the only position on the entire roster that they have to pick a guy at. This could obviously change between now and the draft if they add someone like Hyde, Miller or Freeman. As of today though, that’s not the case.

    Lol no need to waste a 2nd rounder on a RB. Many other positions will have players better rates than at RB.

    Personally, I think that RB is the last immediate need on this team. The Bills can sustain an injury to any other position on the roster (except QB and most can’t sustain that). If Singletary goes down the running game goes too and he did miss five games as a rookie. Even if Motor is healthy another RB is going to play 30% of the offensive snaps. The Bills have to add another high end option. 

    Maybe 3rd or 4th round.

    Are they wearing masks?  Might be time to buy a couple packs of bandanas, some large elastic hair ties, and a box of shop towels and roll one for each co-worker if not.

    My boss did not prepared for this at all... He said he ordered bandanas for everyone... On Monday. Some people have their own masks. All I do now is go to work and go home.
