[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 42028, member: 195"] As in every exercise of drawing knowledge from observations, there's the danger of Observation Bias. For example, those who believe that women are poor drivers will see any error made by a woman driving as evidence in support of this conclusion and every error of a man driving as a knock against that individual. Humans tend to see what they want to see. I say that as preface to my own observations which were that it seemed to me that our pass blocking has never been that good and that blocking for Vad was not noticeably worse than for Tevin or Joshua. Also, it seemed to me that TW suffered from a lot more drops from WRs and Vad from more over thrown or under thrown passes. That's what it seemed like to me, but I don't claim that my observations were more free from bias than those of @[USER=360]Techster[/USER] or anyone else. Some stats, fwiw: VL 2013: 45.6% comp, 8.7 ypa, 50% and 7.8 vs Duke TW 2012: 56.4% comp, 9.2 ypa, 60% and 10.2 vs Duke TW 2011: 49.3% comp, 11ypa, 46.2% and 14.2 vs Duke I would hope that as ypa go down, we'd see completion % go up since shorter passes tend to have a higher completion %. I think that's what we see, to some extent with TW from 2011 to 2012. More shorter passes led to higher completion %. However, with VL, we got both lower completion %, significantly, and lower ypa. I don't see justification for saying that Vad was that much better a passer, even in the Duke game. GT Sacks Allowed; Passes thrown 2013: 14; 203 2012: 14; 194 2011: 13; 167 2010: 16; 168 2009: 12; 168 2008: 15; 165 I don't know if it's the best measure of pass protection; I thought of looking at it after I typed the passing stats for VL and TW. However, fwiw, our 2013 sack to pass thrown ratio is the lowest in the CPJ era. I guess it's possible that Vad threw more away to avoid sacks, thus also hurting his passing numbers, but I don't know how to find that. It seems unlikely to me that this occurred enough to justify calling our OL protection that much worse this year than previous years. [/QUOTE]
