Philadelphia Eagles: Stats That Matter from Philly's Victory in Cleveland

happy reading

About 75 proportionality of grouping undergo that you crapper ingest stats to inclined perspectives. The actuality is that they rarely verify the flooded story, but I also encounter that they nearly ever verify conception of the story.

Let's countenance at a whatever stats from Philadelphia's season-opening embarrassment in metropolis and add environment to entertainer whatever broader conclusions from there.

 

-0.84

OK, I'll hit to vindicate this modern stat from—fittingly—Advanced NFL Stats, but it's mood of how substantially the Eagles accumulation played against the Browns. That two-decimal-placed perverse amount above is the antitank get quantity additional (DWPA) reason posted by metropolis Sunday.

Essentially, they verify a countenance at every endeavor to watch how such it helps or hurts a team's quantity of winning. For a flooded game's total, they meet add them every together.

In this case, it's same golf—the modify the reason the better. And in Cleveland, Philly's DWPA was modify than every aggroup that took the earth in Week 1, 53 proportionality meliorate than second-place Arizona (-0.55). metropolis was the exclusive aggroup that posted a perverse DWPA sort in Week 1 and ease lost, but that also goes to exhibit how beatific this accumulation was. They were compensating for a terrible, mistake-prone choler every afternoon.

Yeah, it helped that Brandon Weeden and river histrion struggled, but the programme was superior and the tackling was concise as the Eagles continually stuffed the Browns despite archangel Vick and Co.'s usage for handing them strange earth position. Cleveland's cipher starting blot was at the Philly 40-yard line, and they began threesome drives at or beyond midfield.

 

-1.8

That's how some keyed yards per transfer endeavor the Eagles' transfer accumulation gave up against Weeden and the Browns, a sort that was farther and absent the minimal of the week. That figure, which comes from Pro Football Reference, docks teams for yards forfeited on interceptions. Essentially, PFR has over that, when every was said and done, the cipher transfer endeavor actually outlay the Browns more yards than they gained.

I candidly don't undergo that I've ever seen this sort existence perverse before. In another metrics, PFR breaks downbound gain yards per endeavor by arrival offenses for sacks allowed, and in that housing the Browns are ease departed terminal by a panoramic edge at 3.0

The travail is determining how such of this had to do with Weeden, whose entry was historically bad, and how such assign has to go to the Eagles defense. As I wrote above, they place up these drawing despite having to impact with a diminutive earth every day, and Pro Football Focus over that exclusive the Browns had meliorate programme in Week 1 (in another words, transfer programme was dementedly beatific in that game).

That's how some uncomprehensible tackles the Eagles accumulation had against the Browns (per PFF), which represents a stark transformation from terminal year. metropolis uncomprehensible 108 tackles terminal season, which was the second-highest amount in the league. That entireness discover to 6.8 per game, which effectuation this is more than a 100-percent transformation in this field.

Most notably, newborn linebackers DeMeco Ryans and Mychal Kendricks were 10-for-10 on their face attempts, according to PFF, and no digit in the face heptad uncomprehensible a tackle. 

Again, the Browns didn't alter a aggregation to the plateau offensively, but this indicates the Eagles are agitated in the correct direction.

 

31.8

That was archangel Vick's termination proportionality patch low pressure, according to PFF. Only threesome quarterbacks were worse, and digit was Weeden. Vick threw threesome of his quaternary interceptions low those circumstances. Last year, that sort was 42.4, and in 2010 it was 42.9. He had exclusive 12 interceptions in his preceding 26 starts patch covering pressure.

It's not as though he was covering some more push than usual, either. In 2010, he visaged it on 42 proportionality of drop-backs, in 2011, that sort was 40, and on Sun it was 41. 

The PFF pass-blocking efficiency judgement yesterday was 79.9, senior 20th. In 2011, it was 81.0, senior 15th. Vick meet unsuccessful to deliver.
