Hunter2_1 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 TEN vs CLE I think this will be a good one... Closer look; Overall - Tennessee run the ball a league high 67% on first downs / Cleveland 3rd most runs of first downs, 62% Play Action - Tennessee use play action on 59% of first and second downs in the first 3 Quarters - nearly double the NFL average / The number 2 team is the Cleveland Browns, who use PA 48% of first and second downs in the first 3 Qs - Browns have statistically defended PA passing better, but they've played the 5th easiest schedule of opposing pass offenses and they've only played 3 teams that use play action at an above league average rate (Raiders, Ravens, WFT). Raiders game was in a windstorm, WFT had Haskins in this game. Ravens game was clear weather, and they roasted CLE with 14 YPA from play action - On the flip side, The Titans are bad at defending play action. Without play action they depend at a 5.9 YPA against, but 10.2 YPA with play action Rushing - Tennessee has the 3rd most efficient rushing attack* and the 8th most explosive - Cleveland has the 9th most efficient rushing attack*, and the 3rd most explosive. This is in-spite of missing Chubb and playing a lot of games in bad weather, where you'd expect a crowded box. It's cherry picky, but if you take the bad weather stretch out, they are 2nd in run efficiency - Tennessee haven't played good run offenses. Since Week 4 they have played the 32nd, 31st, 27th, 26th, 22nd, 20th and 20th again and 11th. 2nd easiest schedule of run offenses - Cleveland has played the 6th easiest schedule of run offenses. Over the last 8th; 32nd, 27th, 26th, 21st, 20th, 19th, 18th, 10th High leverage situations - Browns D has played 5th easiest schedule of 3rd down offenses, 3rd easiest RZ offenses. Tennessee is 3rd in RZ offense, 9th best 3rd down offense - Titans rank last in RZ defense and last in 3rd down defense, despite playing 10th easiest overall schedule of opposing red zone offenses and 3rd down offenses Hopefully be a good one!

candyman93 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The two best pound for pound runners in the NFL going at it today. Browns average 5.0 ypc when facing 7+ men in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
