Brandon LaFell vs. Legedu Naanee (ohhh look STATS! yay!)


R0CKnR0LLA

Recommended Posts

Naanee has 239 yards on the season and LaFell has 276. So going by a quick glance at a stat sheet it seems their production is pretty comparable. But lets dig a little deeper and look at production with their number of opportunities factored in.

Brandon LaFell

Targets: 24

Receptions: 17

Percentage: 70.8%

Yards: 276

YardsPerTarget: 11.5

Touchdowns: 2

Legedu Naanee

Targets: 45

Receptions: 22

Percentage: 48.8%

Yards: 239

YardsPerTarget: 5.3

Touchdowns: 0

If you apply his current production to a full 16 games Naanee is on pace for 90 targets, 478 yards and 0 TDs for the year.

Now if you supplant Naanee with LaFell and use his current yards/TDs per target (at least in theory *insert spooky music*) given the same amount of targets LaFell would be on pace for 1035 yards and 7-8 TDs.

Of course a million things change when you switch players roles, increase their involvement, ect but I thought it was interesting none the less.

We should just bring in TO, that will solve this.

Typing up a thread on that as we speak.

looks like it's time for me too logoff for the night then.

Neither one impress me. Lafell looked like he was out of breath catching the 4th down pass. He looked like he was running in sand.

Cud u further elaborate why he doesnt impress you? Is there a reason outside of him not running fast enough on a huge conversion to keep the game alive?

    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers. 
    • Poor guy went from the Ravens to this disaster
    • You have to make the best of it and find moments of happiness.  So, I picked up the Falcons D in my money league for this week.
