The stats also don’t seem to capture the fact that in the 10 games in 2023, Brian Johnson has had to match wits against Bill Belichick, Brian Flores, Todd Bowles, Robert Saleh, Dan Quinn and Steve Spagnuolo, all very well regarded defensive coaches. Other than Dan Quinn and DeMeco Ryans I’m not really remembering which good DCs the 2022 team spanked. Maybe Wink Martindale?
Perhaps one could argue that Brian Johnson is winning these matchups because of the talent he has on his team and not anything he is doing schematically or with his play calling, but if so then he is at least doing a good job of getting enough out of his talent to have a top 5 offense.
