EIGHT TEAMS - 32 OBSERVATIONS

Excerpt: "Now that we’re fully into the playoffs, doing the normal <a href="http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/category/features/32-observations/">32
Teams, 32 Observations</a>just wasn’t going to make much sense, but–not
wanting you to feel cheated–we’ve got something for you.


With just the eight teams still alive, we offer our first ever Eight
Teams, 32 Observations piece as we zero-in on those still in the hunt while
conducting the weekly data dig.</p>


Below you’ll find four interesting bits for each of this weekend’s
participants, adding to the mountain of pre-game talking points and, hopefully,
giving you at least one more thing you didn’t know about your favorite playoff
team.</p>

<span>New York
Giants</span></p>


?Wide receiver Victor Cruz had 3.08 Yards
Per Route Run which is the highest for any wide receiver in the last three
years.</p>


?Offensive linemen David Diehl has allowed
pressure on 9.6% of his pass plays as a left guard and left tackle this
year.</p>


?Linebackers Michael Boley and Mathias
Kiwanuka had Tackling Efficiencies on run plays of 38.0 and 23.0, respectively,
which were second- and third-best for 4-3 outside linebackers in the regular
season.</p>


?In his first two games of the season, Osi
Umenyiora averaged a pressure every five pass plays. In the games he’s played in
since, he’s averaged a pressure every 9.25." Read more...

Another very interesting stat on young Victor Cruz. A little surprised at the stats on Diehl and the LBs.

?Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a PFF pass grade of <span style="color: #008000;">+67.9</span> on passes thrown beyond the line of scrimmage, and a rating of <span style="color: #ff0000;">-3.3</span> when throwing behind the line of scrimmage.

I dont get this......

passes behind the line of scrimmage are usually screen passes, dump pass/shovel pass to the RB, etc... not really effective on a consistent basis thus the bad passer rating.

Passes past the line of scrimmage is the norm.

Is that stat on Deihl a good or a bad thing?

You should of known that by watching Diehl play.....its not way u could of thought that was good stats for Diehl. I wonder what was Mckenzie's , he has to be the worst tackle in football. Mckenzie is making $8M this year to miss blocks and get blown up in the running game.

I know the last one on Osi is not good.

And the other teams all have "observations" that are bad ... for the Giants, that is.
