Big Blue Huddle / The Texans turnaround
January 17, 2024, 07:20:27 AM
The Texans went from really bad to the playoffs, why not the Giants next year? I know you need a really good QB to win in the NFL. You can't rush in a rookie, you have to develop a QB and surround him with a great OL and lots of weapons and then I remembered CJ Stroud.

The Houston rookie has been sensational this year. He's completed 63.9 percent of his passes for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He also ran for another three scores. And he did all that while missing two regular season games.

Stroud doesn't have much talent around him, either. And while Demeco Ryans is more than impressing, he's still a first-year head coach. The Texans were 3-13-1 last season. They went 4-13 and 4-12 the two years prior and had four head coaches between 2020 and 2022, counting interim head man Romeo Crennel.

Houston should have been a cellar- dweller this year. Instead, it just won a playoff game, in dominating fashion. It beat a veteran Browns team that smoked the Texans in the regular season.

But Stroud lit up the Browns defense time and time again. He was 16 for 21 for 274 yards and three scores.

He was not only elite. He was the most valuable player. Because without him, this Texans team would be fighting with the Patriots, Giants and Jets for a top 5 selection in the draft.

Big Blue Huddle / Performance in the trenches
December 26, 2023, 10:38:48 AM
If it's won in the trenches then this might explain why we continue to struggle. Dex and Thomas make the lists but no sign of KT. I don't care about his sacks against shitty teams. Did he play yesterday because I can't fine his name in the box score. It's not just on KT, there are very few Giants to be found on any lists of top performers.
ESPN Analytics created revolutionary new metrics to measure performance in the trenches -- in both the run and pass game -- using player tracking data from NFL Next Gen Stats.  Our pass rush win rate metric tells us how often a pass-rusher is able to beat his block within 2.5 seconds. Likewise, our pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer.  In run stop win rate, a defender can earn a win by doing any of the following: beating his blocker so he's in better position to stop the runner; disrupting the pocket or running lane by pushing his blocker backward; containing the runner such that he must adjust his running lane; or recording a tackle within three yards of the line of scrimmage. If a defender earns a run stop win, his blocker earns a loss -- and vice versa."]ESPN Analytics created revolutionary new metrics to measure performance in the trenches -- in both the run and pass game -- using player tracking data from NFL Next Gen Stats.  Our pass rush win rate metric tells us how often a pass-rusher is able to beat his block within 2.5 seconds.

Big Blue Huddle / How to beat the Cowboys
December 18, 2023, 10:43:46 AM
The Bills recipe for success against the Boys very good defense:
1. Run the ball down their throats for over 200 yards on the ground.
2. Limit pass attempts which cuts down sacks and turnovers
3. Play good defense. Only 2.5 sacks and 1 int
