really interesting article looking at what makes a successful defence with regards to pass rush vs coverage...
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-data-study-coverage-vs-pass-rush-part-three
the implications for judon are pretty big too - i think its telling the way we've built this defence the last few years (back to front) and how that creates a more consistently effective pass defence
i think the suggestion is that investment into pass rush is nowhere near as important as investment on the backend
most interestingly though is that ironically the longer the qb holds onto the ball the better for your defence
they specifically talk about the ravens and why we are philosophically interesting and why our defence works so well given the way we blitz etc.
i think you can see from the way this team has been built by EDC just how much analytics are playing in our team building philosophies and the way harbs is using analytics on the field also has given us so many advantages over every other team in the nfl
