    Charger Scoring Defense

    The Charger scoring defense has been incredible.
    The 4 teams the Chargers have played have all had their lowest point total of the season vs the Chargers!

    Washington 16 vs Chargers, 30, 21, 34 vs others
    Dallas 20 vs Chargers, 29, 41, 36 vs others
    Kansas City 24 vs Chargers, 33, 35, 42 vs others
    Las Vegas 14 vs Chargers, 33, 26, 31 vs others

    This is an INSANE accomplishment.

    Thats really interesting data. I think if you used THAT info to weight the defensive rankings on a regular basis plus the records of those opponents we would find our D ihas got to be top 5. We clean up 1/2 the D penalties in the Dallas game and i dont doubt we would have won that game.

        Staley is a wizard..... he is doing things that may not make sense but it is working...... I cant tell you why it works, but it obviously is working better then any scheme we have had before......

          It takes an insane level of detail and precision from players to make a bend but don't break D work in the NFL. Staley and his staff are doing a great job of taking our players, who were not very focused on detailed, situational football, and making them develop that level of detail.

          Every week, the level of teamwork is improving. They block one of our guys, the player next to him squeezes down and fills the hole... the secondary was just flying around. Some of that is because they are fast, some of it was because they are quick, but those are the same guys who were quick and fast under Gus, now they are playing smart, knowing what the other team is trying to do. Staley and the staff are doing a great job of getting guys ready to play, and then the players are doing a great job of just going out and making the plays.

          Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James blankets Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller for clutch INT (nfl.com)

          James Int of Carr is a great example. James is waiting and waiting and waiting for Carr to throw him the ball. There is no doubt that he KNEW that was what was being thrown, and he was in the ideal coverage and he knows he can make the play, so he is just waiting for it to happen. So, a great call, but a great player just stepping up to make the play the way it needs to be made.

          That is how it is supposed to work, and Staley (and the rest of the staff) has figured out the million little bits that go into making it all happen.

            In the end you can talk about all the stats, rush D pass D sacks and so on, the only one that matters is how many points did you give up.

              I have a spreadsheet that does this however it also incorporates the average points by the opponent's defenses they faced. I can isolate those variables versus the other aspects of my algorithm that I use for part of my betting algorithm.
