Allen is liking the left side of the field and other interesting charts

[Einstein]

Some interesting charts and metrics I found while perusing the interconnected network of web servers world wide.

 

 

 

Gabe Davis chart for Week 5 could be summed as "Go Long - Score Touchdowns"

 

 

While Stefon Diggs chart could be summed up as "Go everywhere - Do every thing".

 

 

Moving over to PFF, Dawkins is leading the way in pass blocking, though all of our linemen have respectable pass blocking grades! From what I can tell, a 60 to 65 grade is about average (someone please correct me if i'm wrong).

 

 

Things get a bit dicey in run blocking, though Knox shows his worth in the run game.

 

 

You have to scroll down a bit further to get to the majority of the starting linemen, as their run grades are poor.

 

Spencer Brown is the highest graded Bills linemen run blocker. When you look at all run-blockers in the NFL, he is the 196th.

 

 

Lastly, here are the coverage grades for our top-20 defenders.

 

 

Go Bills!

I would think most right-handed QBs naturally favor the left side, no?

[WMDman]

interesting, I remember the old narrative was other teams wanted him to throw left because it was something he struggled with

[MJS]

Does it show how many throws are in each category? That would be interesting to see.

you would think so, easier to rotate your hips naturally that way vs opening (adjusting his feet and rotating), then closing them when throwing to the right.

 

Similar to how he's thrown a few bad passes to the right side to McKenzie vs Dolphins, Diggs vs Steelers and I think another time also.

Good stuff.  Another example of Josh identifying a weakness (throwing left) and turning it into a strength.

 

The kid really is unbelievable.  The talent, work ethic, intelligence, charisma.  Damn.  We are so friggin’ lucky I often have to pinch myself.

I’d be interested to know that too… I thought that’s what the title referred to originally but mow I see it’s talking about passer rating.

Thanks to PFF I now know that Bobby Hart is our 2nd best OL 😳

[NewEra]

Thanks for posting.  Saffold…. Lol.  Oh man

[gobills404]

Doesn’t have to be in first round, but I’m BEGGING Beane to draft multiple iOL next year

[Bangarang]

Didn’t Saffold have a reputation for being a much better run blocker than pass blocker? What’s the issue here?

 

We need 2 new OGs badly. Unless the plan is to move Bates back to LG next year once Saffold is gone.

Saffold my god what a bust that signing was. We were better off keeping Williams at RG and Bates at LG. 

[StHustle]

Siran Neal is the ultimate mainly special teams but great depth player. Ingram only got in over him cause they wanted to keep Siran fresh for teams.

Has he been that bad?  I haven’t noticed.  Which I thought was a good thing…

Does make me wonder whether there is enough data to be anywhere near statistically significant.

Defenses are making a concerted effort to keep him from getting outside the pocket to his right, where he's absolutely deadly.

During games, watch how LDE's are playing a contain game and not getting too far upfield.

Allen has handled their adjustment like a pro.

Siran registered 4 (four!) passes defensed v the Steelers

Checks out with what I saw in preseason.

He was manned up on Claypool, who is a poor route runner. Neal can match up to Chase physically since he will round his cuts and doesn't separate.

It may have even been 5.

And they all came in about a single 6 minute stretch!

Looks like the adjustment to the soft rushes from DL's, who are getting the arms up and batting passes down, is to just throw it really really far instead.
