Rex N' Effect: Stats Rankings Show OLine is More to Blame than Grossman

but IMO, either you got it or you don’t. I see great focus and ability on one play, then the next one not so much. I am ok with a player getting beat occasionally, it’s the NFL. But, I don’t know how else to say this, he just flat out looks lazy. That’s my main problem with him. I know I’m in the minority and say what you will, but I expected more. And guys that are drafted in later rounds are the ones that are supposed to be “brought along”. Not one in the top 5.

It means “Sacks Allowed” and “QB Hits Allowed”….where higher is worse.

114 (attempts) times .07 = 7.98

16 divided by 114 = 14% not 7%

I said It was my bad. I took it as Sacks per pass attempt, which is what the catagory actually says. It doesn’t read % of sacks per pass attempt, it clearly reads “sacks” per pass attempt. Thats where I went astray.

here we go again with blaming brown.

I’m going to replay that for you:

The play was not a designed rollout. It was a 90 series, which means a 5 step drop and the crossing route was being run to the right. Brown, like any good offensive tackle should do, pushed his man outside(after Spencer too an outside shoulder release, and threatened his right shoulder with an attempted speed-rush up field. Brown pushed Spencer around the outside, thus creating “the pocket” for Grossman to be able to step up into. If Grossman would have stepped up,slightly to his right, he would have had a throwing lane in the middle of the field, and moss was just coming open on hid deep in(dig route) Instead of stepping up, Grossman vacated the pocket to his left, because of a missed block by TW(who even though he had help to the inside, allowed his man to cross his face via a spin move and pressure Rex)and the chase began. Now being it was a designed play to the right, with Moss crossing, AA sitting and the TE running the corner to occupy the safety, there were no WR to the left of the formation, where Grossman was running. Spears had a running start, after Brown had filtered him around the edge, but he was still 5 yards away from Grossman. As Rex proceeded to look for an open receiver, he also kept turning his head to see who was after him. He was clearly out of the tackle box, and 7-8 sec. had gone by at this point. He continued running, and looking to see when he was going to be caught.
If he had any sense in the world, A.) he would have flipped the ball out of bounds, and lived to face another down, B) Saw he was about to be tackled and put two damn hands around the ball, or even freakin slid for that matter, or C) gotten the hell out of bounds, and stopped the clock(but he was obviously too slow to do this.

This my good friend, was all on Rex!

Take a look if you don’t believe me:
