I'm in the middle of breaking down a lot of numbers on blitzes trying to put together a research article, so I'll update this thread as I make more discoveries, but this was too good to not post:
We can split all of the Redskins passing plays last year into the amount of rushers the opponent set.
Net (includes penalty yardage) yards per pass attempt when:
- Redskins opponents rush with 4 or fewer = 5.9
- Redskins opponents rush with exactly 5 = 6.0
- Redskins opponents rush with 6 or more = 3.9
I found that really interesting.
Anyway, here's some further reading on the Redskins blitz packages (of the defense):
