HapHaszard Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Interesting stats, I don't know what to make of them, but is it possible in the last game that Pat was facing a fresh rested Bears defense, and that late in the game they were pretty tired and thus Portus and Betts had more yards? Also Joe seemed to be killing the clock a lot in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddogCT Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Running backs tend to get more yards when the QB only throws 14 passes in over a half of football. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRS Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 i guess brunell hands off better This could actually be a factor! Say defenses can read Ramsey better. Say they can better tell if he is going to hand it off, or what side we are going to run to... I mean, it's all in the body language. Even after the ball is snapped, if PR lets defenses know he's about to hand it off a fraction of a second sooner than Brunell - that could be used to better stop the run. That's experience and Brunell has plenty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hello?A better passing game promotes a better running game, and vice versa. Then how do you explain that Portis had better numbers with Burnell who couldn't throw more than 10 yards last season, and Ramsey who has a cannon of an arm and had better numbers :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Then how do you explain that Portis had better numbers with Burnell who couldn't throw more than 10 yards last season, and Ramsey who has a cannon of an arm and had better numbers :doh: Quit confusing me. But since we're talking numbers, look at this regarding Mark Brunell in 2004: Monday Night Games: QB rating 97.4 with zero INTs September Games: QB rating 82.6 with one INT vs. Own Division: QB rating 87.9 with one INT Behind by 1-8 pts: QB rating 94.9 with one INT At Own 20 or less: QB rating 96.1 with zero INTs In Red Zone: QB rating 106.6 with zero INTs 31+ pass attempts: QB rating 104.4 with one INT Pass on 4th down: QB rating 109.7 with zero INTs Last 2 Mins of Half: QB rating 108.6 with zero INTs In addition, his best quarter is his 4th quarter. Conclusion: Mark Brunell plays his best when under pressure. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1032/splits/2004 Ramsey's stats are the opposite. He seems to do his worst when under pressure. He's too tight. I'm on the Brunell bandwagon, at least for THIS GAME, which is the one we have to worry about NOW. Now let's go win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm not stating an opinion either way as far as what the stats mean about Ramsey, but YPC tend to increase over the course of the game.If that's true, wouldn't Ramsey's two relief appearances tend to favor him?

MidPennSkin Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Anybody notice that the 43 yard run by Portis came against an 8-man front? We had Cooley and Royal in on the left side, Portis ran to the right. Good blocking, Portis made the OLB miss, and he was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Ervins Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 It should be noted that the defenses that Ramsey faced were much stronger against the run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
