Some interesting charts and metrics I found while perusing the interconnected network of web servers world wide.

 

qb-grid-chart-ALL529264-2022-REG-all-166

 

 

Gabe Davis chart for Week 5 could be summed as "Go Long - Score Touchdowns"

 

route-chart_DAV329675_2022-REG-5_1665346

 

While Stefon Diggs chart could be summed up as "Go everywhere - Do every thing".

Moving over to PFF, Dawkins is leading the way in pass blocking, though all of our linemen have respectable pass blocking grades! From what I can tell, a 60 to 65 grade is about average (someone please correct me if i'm wrong).

Things get a bit dicey in run blocking, though Knox shows his worth in the run game.

You have to scroll down a bit further to get to the majority of the starting linemen, as their run grades are poor.

 

Spencer Brown is the highest graded Bills linemen run blocker. When you look at all run-blockers in the NFL, he is the 196th.

Lastly, here are the coverage grades for our top-20 defenders.

Go Bills!

Does it show how many throws are in each category? That would be interesting to see.

I would think most right-handed QBs naturally favor the left side, no?

you would think so, easier to rotate your hips naturally that way vs opening (adjusting his feet and rotating), then closing them when throwing to the right.

 

Similar to how he's thrown a few bad passes to the right side to McKenzie vs Dolphins, Diggs vs Steelers and I think another time also.

Good stuff.  Another example of Josh identifying a weakness (throwing left) and turning it into a strength.

 

The kid really is unbelievable.  The talent, work ethic, intelligence, charisma.  Damn.  We are so friggin’ lucky I often have to pinch myself.

I’d be interested to know that too… I thought that’s what the title referred to originally but mow I see it’s talking about passer rating.

Didn’t Saffold have a reputation for being a much better run blocker than pass blocker? What’s the issue here?

 

We need 2 new OGs badly. Unless the plan is to move Bates back to LG next year once Saffold is gone.

Does make me wonder whether there is enough data to be anywhere near statistically significant.

Defenses are making a concerted effort to keep him from getting outside the pocket to his right, where he's absolutely deadly.

During games, watch how LDE's are playing a contain game and not getting too far upfield.

Allen has handled their adjustment like a pro.

Thanks to PFF I now know that Bobby Hart is our 2nd best OL 😳

 

Checks out with what I saw in preseason.

Siran registered 4 (four!) passes defensed v the Steelers 

 

He was manned up on Claypool, who is a poor route runner. Neal can match up to Chase physically since he will round his cuts and doesn't separate.

It may have even been 5.

And they all came in about a single 6 minute stretch!

Looks like the adjustment to the soft rushes from DL's, who are getting the arms up and batting passes down, is to just throw it really really far instead.
