So, I have no website or stat site other than me tracking it at the games myself. But I was curious of why Lucas waits so long at the line of scrimmage to snap the ball. I mean sometimes it seems like an eternity.
I decided to track some stats based on running no huddle compared to Lucas taking his time at the line of scrimmage.
(This info is based solely on LJ due to him being the primary passing QB)
In the last 12 attempts he has completed 3 passes when taking longer than 12 seconds once the ball has been set. That's 25%...
when we ran no huddle he is 8 of his last 12. 66%
This is based on when I started to notice a difference in results.
One thing to note. On plays ran with at least 12 seconds taken once the ball is set. The average passing yards completed are 1.9-2.1 yards per completion....
When running no huddle its 5.4.
I am still struggling to figure out the purpose of the delay at the LOS. As it seems it just makes Lucas think WAY TOO MUCH.
I do believe someone posted a very interesting tidbit about learning new roles/rules/actions.
Basically the faster you try and complete a task the less time you have to think and more reaction you have. Which also will teach you to learn from your reactions and critique them.
But when you slow a process down it gives you time to think of every action. You think about how things can go wrong. Next thing you know you're thinking about what could go wrong rather than doing what is right.
I believe this is 10000% relatable to the stats I found. When we hurry Lucas and force him to make reaction decisions he has a better outcome. When coach P slows it down he struggles. I believe he gets stuck in his own head.
Not trying to say I know better than the coaching staff, because field placement, defense stamina and many other factors come into play when deciding to speed the offense up. But I do believe we are shooting ourselves in the foot by slowing our offense down.
Stats speak rather loudly even on this small scale.
I'd love to see us go up to temple and establish the run. Once we get them stacking the box we need to hurry up and hit passes quickly. Get them on their heels. We seem to get the run going just to take out time and make a short awkward pass.
