Matt Ryan Continues to Wrestle

Because of the nflFastR undertaking and NFL NextGen Stats for the well timed sources of information.

For these of you new to this, I’ll publish key QB stats every week judging how properly the Colts passing recreation carried out. Sure, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling influence these numbers however they’re primarily QB measures. I’ll in all probability modify the charts all through the season. Commentary shall be transient however be happy to let me know within the feedback that stats aren’t every thing. (click on charts for bigger view)

HOW WELL?

Properly, the dangerous information is that I acquired COVID. The excellent news is that as a result of I used to be sick, I didn’t watch a lot of the recreation.

After4 incompletions, a sack, and a choose, Ryan lastly acquired it collectively. Whereas his EPA effectivity is poor, his success fee was truly above common.

He was simply marginally higher than he was towards the Eagles . . . which wasn’t good.

I discover it arduous to consider that there are 7 different QBs with worse season EPA effectivity than Ryan. Let that be a lesson, it will probably all the time worsen.

HOW FAR?

Similar to final week, finishing passes was not the issue. It was simply that they had been too quick and there was not sufficient YAC to make up for it.

Depth of targets and completions has held regular for the final 3 weeks within the “no one’s open” vary.

TO WHO?

He was so near a 100-yard receiver.

HOW ACCURATE?

Accuracy dipped a bit, but when the incompletions I noticed are any measure, then drops had an influence on that.

HOW FAST?

He held the ball for a very long time.

TO WHERE?

Similar to a lot of the yr, he had extra success on passes > 10 yards.

The run recreation ticked up (tenth ARSR), however Ryan nonetheless noticed a great quantity of strain (thirteenth pr%). He held the ball a very long time, however threw quick passes (seventh TTT, twenty third ADOT), successfully being a check-down Charlie.

His accuracy dropped (twenty first CPOE), which partially accounts for low receiver YAC (twenty ninth YAC, thirtieth YACOE). That each one rolls as much as a Twenty fifth-ranked YPA. The strain resulted in a excessive sack fee, additional miserable dropback effectivity (eleventh sk%, twenty sixth ny/d).

He turned the ball over, didn’t throw many firsts, and didn’t throw many TDs (twelfth to%, twentieth 1st%, Twenty fifth td%), which is kind of the worst of all worlds.

Throw that every one in a pot and also you get the Twenty fifth-worst EPA effectivity. Relative to the a lot greater success fee, that factors to the truth that the destructive performs had been veeery destructive and the constructive performs… not a lot.
