Washington’s clock/game management continues to be abysmal
Washington’s loss last week to the Vikings was the product of a multitude of factors, including - of course - a number of boneheaded plays on the field: Ben St-Juste’s defensive pass interference...www.hogshaven.com
this is a huge issue for this staff
Some interesting reading in this article about 3rd and longs
Why are the Commanders always facing third and long?
brilliant post buddysome analytics about the QB sacks:
Since sacks were the second major cause of offensive drives going backward instead of forward, I returned to where this all started and asked which quarterback’s negative plays were having the biggest impact. The main findings were:
Overall, these results reinforce the findings of the previous article that Carson Wentz is much more likely to kill offensive drives with negative plays than is his backup. He is not alone in this regard, however, as both quarterbacks get plenty of help in moving the offense backward from other players, most notably the offensive line.
- Looking across all down and yardage situations, Heinicke tends to take more of his sacks on early downs, where they are potentially less costly. Wentz takes more of his sacks on later downs where they are more likely to kill drives.
- When the team finds itself in third and very long yardage situations, Heinicke is nearly four times more likely than Wentz to save the drive by converting a first down or scoring.
Not that surprising that the numbers confirm Heinicke is able to recover or overcome sacks on early downs while Wentz takes sacks later and is not able to recover.
That's interesting. We all know it's going on, but I'm glad a player finally spoke up. If this doesn't cause the other owners to act n get rid of this ass0.
not good news for dean
