Thread: Vikings' Offensive Line

The folks at footballoutsiders.com did an interesting analysis on the offensive lines across the NFL.

Here are a few tidbits about the Vikings taken from this part of their site.
They also explain how they did the calculations.
I just highlighted a few point, lot more there for those that are interested.
Interesting take.

...This second table lists each team's Adjusted Line Yards in each direction listed in official NFL play-by-play, along with rank among the 32 teams. Only five directions are listed because research so far shows no statistically significant difference between how well a team performs on runs listed middle, left guard, and right guard...

LEFT END

LEFT TACKLE


MID/GUARD




RIGHT TACKLE



RIGHT END
MIN


2.80 4



4.19 17






2.89 1








4.17 18







4.51 24
(first @ adjusted line yds and second is rank)

...The third table lists how often each team runs in each direction. These runs are from the perspective of the OFFENSE, so a run listed as LEFT TACKLE is actually at the RIGHT defensive end. Numbers may not add up to 100% due to carries listed without direction...

jammed it up the middle a lot and still led the NFL in rushing.

Thanks my friend.
Very interesting.
Truth be told I really like that site but don't visit it much anymore.


Damn PPO keeping me away from stuff like that.
