Sack By Confusion

[MakoShark]

I can appreciate that chart, but I think its missing 1 column to help provide a little context. IMO, it should also show the number of times a QB has dropped back to pass. In Rivers case that number is 456. That includes sacks and aborted snaps. So, in 456 drop backs the Oline has blown 18 blocks (.039%) and protection broke down due to coverage only 4 times (.008%). Sure, a lot of this has to do with scheme, but to say thats not comforting is just reaching for something to bitch about, IMO.

I think that's a great suggestion.

What I take out of those stats is the coaches are doing a great job with the offensive line.

While I'm disappointed with some other things the coaches have done, the O line work has been impressive.

Coach D should be canonized for the job he's done this season. It really is nothing short of a miracle the job he's done with this group of turds.

Or maybe they aren't such turds to begin with?

Dunlap was considered a massive turd and had zero interest on the market as evidenced by his contract. Rinehart has been a career journeyman that has been injured every year of his career. Hardwick looked like he was circling the drain last season. Clary - enough said. Fluker according to many was supposed to be a OG (not me though!). Troutman's most significant contribution prior to this season was orkchops:

They may not have been complete turds, but prior to the season pretty sure we were considered a bottom 5 O line by virtually every single publication AND the grand majority of the board members.

Guess everybody was wrong, huh?

But the stats that are the subject of this thread seem to suggest otherwise.

This thread is all about confusion.

To quote an old ELP song:

Confusion...will be my epitaph
As I cross a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.

Sounds just about right, don't you think?

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer? Cool.

And yes, to your question.
