AJ Klein Catching On

Yeah, Madden taught me that 10yrs ago ;). It would be cool to see a 5-2 front every now and then. All I have to say is that opposing oline would not survive one quarter, let alone the QB of the opposing team. I still don't buy the crap of Rob Ryan's 3 to 4 safety defense and all the hype.

Agreed. On third downs we could totally run a 5-2. Davis and kuechly are good enough in coverage for that to work. There wouldn't be a single guy on that line getting doubled and if one did that's a blown protection for a easy sack. And we could get really wild with it by dropping hardy back in a flat zone just to throw offenses off. I can't see our defense not being top 5 with this personnel

Could you imagine the look on the WR's face on meeting the Kraken in drop back coverage, lulz

A kraken pick 6 on a rb screen that they were just trying to dump off. Lol I could easily see that

Thinking about, this team's dline has to be the deepest and with the most quality. We are blessed! Now with the next draft to sure up the safety position.

Safety corner oline depth and young WRs maybe a 3rd on a rb but yes. We are in great shape

Might have something to do with who our head coach is.

Eh, historically we've had a reputation for great linebackers playing for us. Sam Mills, Kevin Greene, Dan Morgan, Will Witherspoon, Thomas Davis, Jon Beason, and now Luke Kuechly. Pretty impressive for one of the youngest franchises in the league.

Can't discount his Big12 defensive player of the year award. Plus I'm loving having an ISU player on board. Haven't had many of those make an impact in the NFL

im a big 12 fan myself ( kansas state ) arthur brown jr won big 12 defensive player of year, not klein. but I loved the klein pick since I actually seen him play a lot. getting him so low qas even better

Klein won Co defensive player in 2011. Believe he shared it with Frank Alexander if I'm not mistaken.

Sadly we would get passed on to death. Teams would kill us just having 4 receiver sets that we wouldn't be able to cover.

Not trying to be funny but in Madden, the 46 has a speed sub pkg which is like a nickle formation except a lber is replaced with a third safety.

The Saints went to this formation at the end of the year playing three safeties(Harper, Vaccaro, Jenkins) and had success...against other teams lol. Panthers find a way.

But if we had better safeties id be all for that formation.

On the Kuchley sack play against the Chiefs they came up in a 3-4 style and did a really nice hybrid zone blitz.

McD is going to do work.

Klein's development and ability is nice bc If god forbid Davis or Kuchley had to go down for a few games he would seemingly slide right in.

Jason Williams got great praise as a guy ready to play by Rivera in an interview but I think just watching Kuchley/Davis daily in practice is like a Linebacker science class. I hope we draft another linebacke with physical tools to develop behind the Kuchley/Davis/Klien trio.

    • I'm going to humor you in case you're actually being sincere and are just ignorant. Also, you're not very good at tossing barbs. Please stop.  I did not say random; I said arbitrary. That is a much different thing.  You're comparing QBR in starts across multiple coaching staffs, seasons, offensive personnel, against defenses with wildly variable of levels of competency, and don't really have a lot of data points. Choosing the dividing line at pre and post benching is arbitrary, and it's not even consistent. He was benched in his first season too. Why not when Reich was fired? Or when Canales was hired? Or when they drafted XL?  Also, what are potential lurking variables here? I would if I was grading this tell you that you're not really showing anything useful. If your argument is that his QBR has trended up on a per game average from "this point" on then congrats yes you're correct. This is called cherry picking data.  I understand you're trying to make this quick and dirty, but QB rating by itself doesn't really paint a useful picture. A simple thing you could do it do a second line along the same time domains of what the defense ranked league wide at the time they played each other. I would try to use a cumulative stat from the same source, tho. So qb rating v scoring defense across these specific truncated set of games that have occurred across three seasons with multiple coaching staff.  Some other suggestions for you  1. This is the wrong type of graph. You want a scatter point.  2. The range for QB rating improvement is like 15 points or whatever. The y axis is broken up into 25s. How can I quantify the line?  3. Quarterback rating goes to 158.3. Why does your line only go to 125?  The only thing I would really take from this is that Bryce Young sucks in a way that QB rating doesn't pick up on. This is what you'd call a "problem with the data."  Lastly, I would point out that QB rating as a formula was finalized in 1973. Offenses were so anemic back then it's referred to as the "dead ball era." Maybe not the best metric to measure QB success half a century later. like buddy i've taken masters level data science courses, and believe me I've done some shitty fuging work. my masters thesis ended up being about why my method of data collection didn't work well enough for me to defend my thesis. I wrote 100 pages just kinda shrugging and saying "Well ya know covid is so challenging etc."  You're trying to tell people their eyes are lying to them and are posting a very bad graph to do so. Don't be upset when people not only argue with you but point out how bad your graph is.
