Cool Star article


stirs

Recommended Posts

Summary? The link keeps crashing my window.

 

Star takes on double teams a lot, freeing up other players.  He disengages from blocks well to clog running lanes.  When left in a one-on-one matchup, he usually drives his man straight into the backfield.

 

He deserves recognition as a potential DROY candidate, but he won't get it due to lack of personal stats.

 

And some low quality .gifs of some run stops he contributed to against the Jets.

God, I weep for the future of journalism. Even sports journalism, which was always touch-and-go. The writing quality is absolute poo.

 

 

 

And despite being the seventh defensive player draft, the Carolina Panthers couldn’t have been happier 

 

The fourth player "drafted," you mean? Come on, that was the first paragraph, bro! Can you at least spot check the first paragraph?

 

 

 

 And they’ll continue to rely on him to keep this defense among the most difficult to defend in the NFL.

Brilliant.

 

Sorry, I could't read any further than that. It was just too painful. I'd rather read Bleacher Report.

    • I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
