Scroll down to find his Jags takes. I think this is where I'm at.

"But even if Taylor is running the offense this way to protect the line, he has dramatically overreacted. According to Next Gen Stats, only 7.4 percent of the Jaguars’ routes go further than 20 yards downfield—that’s last in the league by a comfortable margin. When looking at routes from just wide and slot alignments (i.e., removing routes that are typically shallow, from inline tight ends and backs in the backfield), the Jaguars are the only team with an average route depth (9.9 yards) under 10."

Hopefully this is large enough for some of the dumb [BLEEP] to read and maybe understand...

But no, it's not the OC.  It can never be our lord and savior, Press Taylor.  Hallowed be thine name.

this begs questions.
- what percentage of our plays were excluded as 'typically shallow', and how does that compare with other teams' exclusion rate?
- what is the score when these plays are called? Maybe we should also exclude teams that are behind multiple scores late, that are throwing deep out of desperation.
- does shorter route depth lend itself to better stats elsewhere, like YAC?

Not saying it's the OC, the home grass, the color of our jersey that week, or anything else, but I want analysis that gets deeper than a singular stat to tell me anything about the situation.
