Great stuff. Any chance we can get the rankings for the defense in this same time frame?

That'd really put things in perspective, it'd also show just how disappointing 07 was for such a talented team.

Looks like the better the OL the higher ranked the team is.



Maybe if we give Romo time to throw the ball.....hmmmm

Where do the lions rank in these categories during linehans tenure?

2010?

2010?

Just guess is the Romo factor kinda in play.

2010?

I was surprised by that DSR (8th), but then I remembered it treats punts the same as turnovers. The stats are arranged in order of their win correlations, so the first ranking will tell you more than the last one.

Man...our defense.

That was the reason I left it out. I got lazy and didn't think it was relevant. It does turn out to be a good example of how drive success rate can mislead, though. Just looking at the ranking, 2010 was better than 2013. What DSR doesn't show is that we ranked 20th in fewest turnovers per drive in 2010, compared to 8th in 2013.

The only thing that separates 2013 from 2006-07 is YPA and DSR, and that's almost all about 3rd down.

Here's 2007:

offense 4/4/5/3/5 4th
defense 14/10/5/20/19 14th

It's interesting how points per drive (that first number) kind of smooths out all the spikes and dips of the other stats and comes pretty close to hitting the average rank (last number) most of the time.

Here's 2013.

Dallas 4/5/8/4/9 6th

You totally asked for "all." He's just being lazy.

2013 Defense please?

 

[Zman5]

So the three years JG had the least amount of involvement in the offense (2006, 2007, 2013), we did best.

OL is the obvious conclusion, but there's some merit to this as well, IMO.
