Most explosive plays by team in 2022 - 10+ yard rush and 20+ yard catches.

And we are definitely where you would guess. This has got to improve next year. 

Edit: for those who can’t click we are the 7th worst at getting explosive plays this season. A lot of that is poor coordinating and QB play

Who would have thought that explosive plays have no correlation to winning… that’s crazy.

Well with the metric provided, it's one team that has a RB that consistently gets 10+ yard runs (Chubb) and 3 teams with the top running QBs (Bears, Eagles, Ravens).  Would like to see this with some adjustments.

It's all about how it's qualified.  I'd personally love the team to be able to make big plays at will, it helps with scoring TDs which I hear are important.

This is just about offenses and has nothing to do with defenses. But it’s hard to sustain drives if you don’t get chunk plays here and there.

I kinda wish the chart would show a breakdown of it per game. There is some real good story telling that can be done with that depth of data

I don’t disagree, I think this data set might be too “loose” to actually pull informed conclusions from it.

The whole 'explosive play' thing is, IMO, not an indicator of much of anything. Kind of like the 20-yard threshold of 'deep pass' missing the point, which is typically to try to measure how often an offense can cause drastic change in field position or on the scoreboard. Neither a 10-yard run or 20-yard pass achieves that.

IMO yhe best example of this is the Saints after about 2011 or so. Sure, they won games and put up pretty stats, but when it came to the playoffs and competing against the best teams they were unable to really take advantage downfield and got shut down.

Doesn't mean QBs have to be long bombers all the time, but 10 and 20 yard plays in a vacuum aren't that impressive.

We need to go heavy offense in free agency and the draft obviously.  Surprised with the Bears being first cuz of their record.

The Bears have been averaging like 27 points a game over Fields last 6 starts. However, they give up over 30 a game lol.

It’s mainly their run game. They lead the nfl in rushing I believe.

having a running QB helps.

Correct. Chicago has almost 40 more runs of 10+ yards than us. They have 4 less 20 yard completions. However, most of those completions have come over the last seven weeks for them. The dude on twitter is providing other details if you ask in comments.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
