Halfway through the season, here's where we rank in a bunch of stats:

Wow. 10th in sacks allowed. In my mind we were doing well there.

i think that is 10th best in sacks allowed, but I could be wrong

10th best. Higher is always better in the rankings. Pass pro has been amazing

One note on 3rd down %...AROD has said they only track 'conversion down %' which

the lacks of penalties is critical and probably isn't appreciated enough

rotorhead

Yeah, I’m not shocked about 3rd % on offense

See my note above about 'conversion down %'

I remember hearing Arod talk about this earlier in the season. Was it on

It's top 40 in the country if you look at just the conversion down. Having said

I feel like you have to track them separately because 4th down is way riskier

MaximusMeridius

Yeah I think it makes sense when you're around the 40 or something

I don’t disagree with you, but there are times when it may be 3rd and 6 and

Playing experienced QBs that will throw the ball away plays a part in that.

Think about the Arizona game. Feels like we sacked him a bunch but we only got 1

Thanks for putting this info together!

Those stats are a huge validation for the defense...may not be elite...but much better than the offense at this point

Offense is definitely not bad though. Average to above average

MaximusMeridius

2:43pm

The defense is absolutely elite. You take all of them together and it's been a top 5-10 defense.

Sacks and penalties, other than the defensive passing efficiency, that is.

I wish we used Jack Kelly more as an edge rusher. Jack has the athleticism to

A big caveat is these stats do not consider strength of schedule
