Braves fan here - think he is referring to the 2021 Braves that made like four deals near/at the deadline (including acquiring three brand new outfielders). They went on to win the World Series that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he was an easy target on 3rd and long for opposing teams. Everyone making a big deal about Elam getting worked by Ridley, Dane was getting worked by Zay before he got injured and left the game. Benford gets beat regularly and takes a couple penalties regularly. Competition is only gonna get harder at this point and I don’t believe either are gonna hold up. Gonna be like late last season.

Both eye tests and data/metrics say Jackson is about average and Benford has played above average. Well, I looked up the stats this season because I thought Benford had played pretty well at least. Benny is currently allowing a 70% completion percentage and a 105 passer rating. Dane is actually even worse, 88% and 120 passer rating.

But you can do that in MLB where teams will actually sell and teams don't really play systems. In the NFL, you cannot remake a team at the deadline.

This has been him almost every week, so I’m not sure where the disconnect in evaluation is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stat was only through 7 games, and advanced defensive targets can be pretty skewed game to game due to the limited sample size. But I agree, to my eye Benny has been pretty good. Although, I think he was in coverage on the Mike Evans helmet TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pass rating against stat some sources use is 100% subjective outside of in one on one man coverage situations. There, I put it nicely.
