- The Redskins offense used 6 blockers = 6.41
- The Redskins offense used 7 or more blockers = 5.6
So, we're almost a yard better when we protect with 6. Interesting, but again, not very telling. |
Actually it is. If you've got 6 in pass-pro you've got 4 receivers, field is more spead, more options, D must cover more. You max-protect, you've got less receivers and the D can cheat with less targets to cover. Keeping 7 in often keys an extra defender who may have had coverage responsibility to now blitz.
The first stat shows we aren't going to be running a spread anytime soon...LOL
