Bills 2008 Run Blocking POA Numbers

From KC Joyner via Tim Graham, the specific percentages of our OL in 2008.

Editor's Note: This is different from the previous fanshot in that it contains the actual numbers for all of Buffalo's linemen and some comparative data from the AFC East. -MRW

The Bills averaged 4.2 YPA on run plays during the 2009 season. I understand that Joyner’s numbers relate only to the point of attack and that multiple guys can be at the POA making blocks. Still, when I add up the attempts and yards to get an average I come up with 4.8 YPA, or about a half yard more than the Bills averaged. Anyone have any idea as to the discrepancy?

I’m trying to figure out how Brad Butler had a 5.2 ypa for POA, but only a 76% POA. Apparently Butler either was awful or awesome on each play.

It’s pretty sad that Peters was so good and will no longer be there to help us….

The rest of the division had pretty much every other player perform better than our guys. That’s just pathetic.

The Bills OL was pushed into the backfield 22 times, next was New England’s with 11. Ouch….

It’s amazing that Lynch and Jackson were able to run so well last year with such a porous OL in front of them….

Let's hope we addressed it enough.

The problem with these stats regarding POA is that they seem to assume that run blocking happens in isolation eg when LG misses his assignment it does not impact on C etc. it also does not take into account how other teams schemed vs individual linemen, it is safe to assume that Peters or Butler received more attetion from defensive linemen than Preston or Fowler.

Football. Bloody Hell!!
