What is happening with our receivers - Warning - stats


San-O

Recommended Posts

Looking at receiving (Receiver) stats some the other day: Sammy Watkins shows up as did Fred.

 

What is everyone else doing: Not much. I am counting 13 receptions through three games

for these five receivers, not including Watkins.

 

Do stats lie?

 

o What has happened to Robert Woods? Had very high hopes with him.

o Mike Williams? I don't know. Beard may be slowing him down.

o Goodwin took that huge shot going over the middle, hope he's OK, probably not the place you want him

with E.J. throwing the ball. IMO. Bad Buddy Pick?

o Hogan? No stats.

o Easley? No stats.

He's been getting open; I have to believe that EJ getting more comfortable would bring more catches

 

o Mike Williams? I don't know. Beard may be slowing him down.

IMO he needs more chances to go after contested balls--needs more designed plays called specifically for him

Had a few chances, but has only played 29 snaps in 3 games:

Neither has played an offensive snap.

two letters pretty much sum this up...E J

 

if he cant get the ball to them then they arent going to have any stats.

So what's the reason the seahawks don't have a receiver in the top 80?

 

Stats can tell any story you want them to.

Defense in top # 1 or # 2 or # 3?

Depends on the stat you want to cherry pick. Total yards: 7th.

 

In fact, other than rushing yards(4th), they are 7th in defense, according to the stats, in most categories other than points, Pts/G(14th in both) and Passing yards per game(20th).

A good defense shows why they don't have a WR in the top 80 in catches? That...doesn't make sense.

 

Pete Carroll has found a way to win games, without huge QB/receiving numbers. Defense MAY be part of the formula???

Opponents averaging 22 points per game(14th). Buffalo is at 17.3(8th). Defense may be a part of it but like I said, stats can tell any story you want.

OK, back to our original programming: what's your explanation for the lack of receptions by the Bills receivers?

 

Explain those away.

that we are a run heavy team, and that we havent been efficient throwing to receivers yet when passing.

 

and that 2 of the guys you listed havent played and a 3rd barely has.

The plays. They SUCK.

 

We don't have a short yardage game at all. Two tight-end sets, and a big, dirty, target in the end zone is how it's done We have talented RB's that can help us move the chains, but an OC who has no clue how to use them... The Giants are killing with this Larry Donnell kid.... and the Broncs are cleaning up with Thomas and Thomas... Our BONEHEADED staff have made this game harder for EJ...This, at point in his career when he needs the most confidence. I'm convinced that EJ's accuracy issues, field-vision issues, and protection issues are ALL coaching issues! FIRE GNAT HACKETT! -Nip this BS in the bud.
