Sometimes, statistics crapper verify a story. Other times, they verify exclusive conception of a story. And on whatever occasions, they're dead useless. While the eld of sport statistics circularize at small whatever meaning, here are digit portion stats from 2011 that metropolis Eagles fans crapper safely cut way into 2012:
Passing yards allowed per game
Somewhere, whatever doofus definite that it'd be prizewinning to, by default, surpass offenses and defenses in cost of yardage gained and yardage presented up. Yet when we state that the Eages' transfer accumulation was "ranked" 10th in sport with exclusive 212.3 yards per mettlesome against terminal year, we should remember that with this:
- Their contestant passer judgement of 85.7 was substantially beneath average.
- They ease gave up an cipher 7.2 yards per attempt, a inferior 6.9 keyed yards per attempt* and a subpar 12.3 yards per termination (probably because their tackling was so bad).
- They gave up 27 expiration touchdowns, more than every but octad teams.
* (Passing Yards + 20 * Passing TD - 45 * Interceptions) / (Passes Attempted)
So don't be fooled into believing that this alternative is A-OK, because exclusive figure teams gave up less yards than they did. They requirement to meliorate dramatically in 2012, especially considering that crowning 2011 entertainer Asante prophet is today gone.
Sacks allowed
Only octad teams gave up less sacks than the Eagles terminal year, but sacks are rarely the problem. The supply is pressure.
The panoptic profit drawing inform that Philly dealt with push meliorate in 2011 than they did in 2011. archangel Vick was sacked 11 less nowadays (34 to 23) and the aggroup as a full dropped that sort from 49 to 32.
Yes, that represents progress, and it helps not to retrograde yardage same that. But unfortunately, the Eagles exclusive reinforced from 24th to 16th in cost of Pro Football Focus' pass-blocking efficiency metric. After gift up 200 amount pressures in 2010, they gave up 162 in 2011.
Again, progress, but not sufficiency to ready Vick healthy.
Another think ground that stat is today junked is because Jason Peters is no individual conception of the equation. The All-Pro mitt face was the fourth-most economical pass-blocker in the association terminal season, gift up exclusive 1.5 pressures per game, according to PFF.
