Re-thinking offensive success

Amazing read if you are into analytics and a real thought provoking read as we see how Daboll has built this offense.

Every position now has a piece capable of an explosive play whether its Nabers, Wan Dale, Slayton, Waller, and Singletary.

Singletary finished 13th in explosives last season despite less opportunities.

We have been horrible at EPA, Explosives, and Big time throws.

In Buffalo Daboll had Allen reaching tops in Explosives, BTTR, and EPA. You add that context to the team we've built, and you can tell he's laying a foundation.

Jess - for a team to be aggressive offensively it takes a coach to trust the offense, a QB with a big play mindset but also trust in the defense to stop the other team if a big play misses causing a punt.

Do we have all that?

J: Theoretically, the pieces are all in place at this time (as you pointed out).

The problem is that precious few of those pieces have enjoyed notable (or any) success in the NFL. The best we can hope for, IMO, is a team that takes the league by surprise, backs into the playoffs, then falls apart when the chips are down.

Next year might be a different story, depending on how much (and how long) this year's success (if any) can be sustained, but IMO we could be seeing the beginning stage of something better than half-decent. As usual injuries
(or lack thereof) are bound to play a huge role in the outcome.

I think Daboll will trust the offense he runs as it has worked multiple other places. I think the defense will be the definition of bend don't break. Hopefully Jones, with less mobility focuses dowmfield more often.
