i think it was deleted because filmstudy came back and told him those numbers were wrong - still demonstrative of the overall lack of diversity in this offence but factually we have pulled to the left side...

or at least that would be my guess as to why it was deleted

I talked to Josh about it. His assertion is correct using his definition. Of 7 plays where Yanda pulled, 5 were on passes (he included only runs) and 2 were not pulls as he defines them.

That's usually what you find whenever you delve into analysis with other folks who are careful with their data collection (differences exist, but they are a matter of definition).

Counter involves pulling both the G and T from 1 side to the other. I would guess there are a number of teams that run that in only 1 direction. Some teams pull both ways from G, but some don't. That's a function of 1) mobility of the pulling guard, and 2) power and ability of the run-side linemen to execute the required blocks at the point of attack. In the Ravens case, I think Hurst and Yanda are of similar mobility, but Yanda and Brown are going to be much better at creating the hole at the PoA.

even if he said he was top 10 worthy, i would still think he isnt lol.im gonna go with myself 99% when it comes to secondary
That’s not what I meant? What I meant was if a big time Alabama fan doesn’t think he’s good then you know to be skeptical.

So Yanda "pulled" on a few Roll Out Passes and the numbers are essentially correct!

So we have a "Right Handed" running game. What does that tell us? Especially with the revelation that Stanley can't line up square on both Running and Passing plays without compromising his ability to Pass Protect.

So we are stronger "Right". Still don't think we are gonna "Tim Tebow" this League, once they realize we have a predictable QB and game plan.

You're mostly talking out the ass when it comes to secondary since you like or dislike players based on the school they play for.
Not about the school. Its just the fact that theyre so good every yr that their players get so much hype, just like the patriots. It really comes down to fact that im not bias so im gonna be able to judge how i want to.You can call it talking out the ass but im still going with my own observations 99% of the time.

Hey guys what are your thoughts on our new coach?
I like Matt LaFleur, one of my favorite options if we were looking for a head coach.

He has worked with both McVay (skins / Rams) and Kyle Shanahan (skins / Falcons). He was the QB coach for the skins and helped develop Kirk Cousins and he was the qb coach in Atlanta. He was also the OC for the Rams, although McVay called the plays, but had a lot of imput into game plans.

Think he could be a very good hire.

you got the most intriguing guy on the market - it's been a bit of a meteoric rise - mcvay-esque but he's not shown the offensive mastery that mcvay showed to get his HC job... so lafleur feels like an even bigger risk than mcvay was for the rams but he's also exactly who I'd have wanted for the Ravens if we'd been in the market

McVay was the offensive coordinator for the Skins from 2014 until last year when he became the Rams Head Coach. He had been calling plays since 2017. Prior to that he was the TEs coach and he,led develop Reed and before that I don’t remember, somewhere else on the skins staff. I wouldn’t compare it to McVays rise at all.

comparative in the sense that its a risk on a young offensive mind with no HC experience - and that the rise is fairly quick (obviously LaFleur's rise is quicker but that's mainly because of the path trodden by Mcvay)

but i see what you mean - mcvay's credentials were far more obvious and examinable
