Thanks for that!

Amen, probably one of the best guys at breaking down the numbers with tape.

I don’t dispute the line is better, I just contend that more of the credit for the apparent improvement should go to other factors. And I will say that the run blocking has been a bright spot but mostly when Connor and Terron are in.

Tua had the 2nd fastest Time To Throw this week and he has the fastest one over the season so far. The Time To Throw over the past few weeks has progressively gotten lower. We cannot draw a substantial amount of conclusions from the games Eichenberg is in because McDaniel schemes poor blocking mostly out of the equation. The magic of our offense is that despite the incredibly quick passes we are throwing, the amount of receivers in routes and the high amount of blockers we employ, we are consistently near the top of Completed and Intended Air Yards.

The big jump in our offense from 2021 to 2022 was going from 5 Completed Air Yards per play to 8. And the apparent jump in our offensive line performance this year is mostly due to cutting down the Time To Throw from 2.3 to 2.6 seconds. Those .3 seconds make a huge difference in the NFL.

I am sure he is a great guy and he has improved but our offense’s scheme, Tua’s elite release and anticipation, and our WR speed really cover up the poor line play.
