Our O-Line was graded almost exactly as this current O-Line... Preseason 2022, PFF graded us as the 26th best O-Line ?https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-l...tiers-2022 Preseason 2023, PFF graded us as the 26th best O-Line ?https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-l...-offseason But Carp, Press Taylor apologists say that this O-Line is so bad that we can't run the same offense we did last year. So obviously, PFF is wrong and Press Taylor's biggest fan is right. OK... Totally understand. PFF makes you pay for getting a deep dive into their metrics. So why don't we go to an objective source and see how they grade O-Lines. ESPN. ESPN provides analysis for O-Lines. The study of Pass Blocking and Run Blocking. Of course, this is a discussion of Pass Blocking (PB), so we'll ignore any Run Blocking (RB) metrics. ESPN did a study in 2022 regarding the PB win rate of O-Lines for the entire season. PB Win Rate is discussed here: ?https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2489...q-how-work And here's the 2023 current analysis of PB win rate: ?https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/3835...eams#teams The assertion of ESPN's analysis is that "...we (ESPN) finally have objective individual stats for linemen for their most critical tasks -- defending and attacking the passer. We can also know who is blocking whom on every snap, who was double-teamed, who got pressure from the edges and who got pressure by collapsing the pocket. The end result is that we can assess individual performance and team-level performance in the trenches separate and apart from the performance of the quarterback, receivers and secondary." On January 10, 2023 ESPN posted their analysis for O-Line individual and team metrics. Just to remind those that may not be aware. In 2022, the Jacksonville Jaguars made it the AFC Divisional Round, and only barely lost to the eventual SB champs. So, back to the ESPN analysis. From their analysis, the Jaguar PB success rate was 31st best in the NFL. And to be honest, if anyone wanted to objectively consider last year, Trevor was getting harrased constantly last year. Similar to this year. You know why? Because we basically have the same O-Line. The metrics don't lie, my friends. The O-Line was bad last year. The O-Line is bad this year... Just to make it easy to understand, and then you can go study my references: 2022: Jaguars O-Line was trash. 2023: Jaguars O-Line is pretty much the same as 2022. I've provided the objective analysis from PFF and ESPN. Not some fan boy lover of Press Taylor, or some angsty blowhard hater of Press Taylor. This is middle of the road analysis, with no horse in the game. The O-Line last year was just as bad as the O-Line this year. Everyone outside of the fanbase agrees. Yet last year we were much more explosive than we are so far this year. Something has changed. And it wasn't the performance of the perennially bad O-Line. |
