Swift Sylvan Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 The Good: Jackson and Chris Kelsay The Bad: Mckelvin (who apparently was great in week 1) http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/09/21/re-focused-raiders-bills/
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for posting, Swift. I love these guys, Football Outsiders, and Cold, Hard, Football Facts. Love sabremetrics and statistical analysis where they come up with stuff like this: 1) Can’t touch this For the second straight week, Fred Jackson absolutely obliterated the opposing defense. Out of his 117 yards on the ground, Jackson picked up over half of them when rushing between Eric Wood and Andy Levitre. If one were to take a look at the number of missed tackles that defenders had, divided by the number of rushes Jackson had, his elusive rating (137.1) can’t be contended with. He has touched the ball 38 times throughout the first two weeks, and on those touches, he has forced 12 missed tackles. . 2) On the rebound After having an up and down 2010, Chris Kelsay is off to rock solid start in 2011. Whether it was playing against the run or getting after the quarterback, Kelsay made sure to show Khalif Barnes (-2.8) who was the boss. While he had a great game, Kelsay’s versatility really stood out, as he played six different positions and managed to rush the passer and drop into coverage effectively. Seeing an uptick in playing time from week one (63.2% of defensive snaps to 89.2%) seemed to do the trick, since his strong play continued well into the second half. Game Notes ● The Bills had three wide receivers or more on the field for 84% of their offensive plays. ● Denarius Moore saw six targets 20+ yards downfield. ● Nick Barnett had a team high 10 tackles and four defensive stops while playing all 65 snaps.
