House Cleaning put on hold....

[Tennskinsfan]

I’ve had a slow week so far at work with the weather going on. So I had some time to nerd out on some numbers. I’ll be the first to say I was diss appointed in Manusky at as the season progressed, but since we have him for another year I decided to look at the numbers.

I’ve split the season up into 2 groups. Pre Alex Injury and after.

Time of possession per game avg:
Week 1-11 31:24
Week 12-17 26:40

Rushing yards against per game avg
Week 1-11 95.7
Week 12-17 150
Season 116.25

Our defense was crushing the run game early. We held our first 8 teams below there season avg of rushing yards per game. Took some lumps in Atlanta (55yds)and then barely missed keeping Tampa (7) and Houston (12) under their avg.

Then Alex injury happened and our offense couldn’t stay on the field. Our defense had to do everything (aside from JJ’s 2 good games) and the rush yards added up.

I realize stats aren’t everything, but it helps seeing as how we’re stuck with Manusky. I am a little curious to the whatif Alex had stayed healthy. We wouldn’t be in the Super Bowl but would our defense have ended on such a sour note?

Overal I have to say I’m starting to like the moves they are making.
