Stats don't mean fucking shit.

This shit doesn't mean anything. The guys is a boss coach. If you watched the games from this year to last (which I did), then you would understand.

If you think receiving stats tell you the whole story about how good DBs are playing you are crazy.

Alexander is really good. Stats are for losers.

Bullshit. Stats mean a lot. They don't mean everything, and if Cal really did sell out to stop the run and maintained an equal pass defense then that's impressive. I have a hard time believing you watched more than a couple Cal games in 2016 and 2017 though. I doubt @BearsWiin even did that shit.

They played a lot of cover 1 variants to get an extra safety in the box. They mixed it up with cover 2. Watch the SC game.

One game doesn't mean anything on a season over season analysis.

I know but they did this against us as well. Defenses run the same schemes against all teams pretty much. They just make slight adjustments to it to fit the style of team they play. Offenses are more adaptable to the defense they play. Defense is about identity thus their isn't a whole lot of scheme changing on that side.

I don't think this is necessarily true but I know Wilcox damn well couldn't adjust when he coached here so this may well be the case at Cal.

Think of this another way, Cal's pass defense numbers didn't improve from 2016 to 2017 and they didn't have John Ross to rape them in 2017.

Might well be explainable, but that's scary chit.

I think their DBs improved a shit ton. They basically raped Darnold for 3 quarters. Also Cal's pass rush was dick besides Looney.

haie

Teq Analysis is gay.

They had 10 more sacks in 2017 than 2016.

They blitzed a hell of a lot more.

link?

One would expect teams who blitz a lot to give up a lower percentage of completions (throwaways, QB's hit when they throw, rushed passes), but give up more yards per completion when they hit the passes.

This is the opposite of what we see from 2016 - 2017.

Doesn't mean it's not possible, but color me highly skeptical that you have any actual idea how often Cal blitzed in either 2016 or 2017.

What it also could mean is that they focused on keeping things in front of them and then rallying up to make a tackle. They struggled big time in 2016 with big plays.

Obviously that's what the stats mean. That's not what you expect out of a team that blitzes a lot though. Heavy blitzing means you're primarily going to be inan with your back turned to the QB and eyes on the receiver. Keeping guys in front of you and rallying up to make a tackle means you're in zone and keeping your eyes on the QB.

I think your hypothetis is right. That means it's unlikely they blitzed a ton though.
