Consistency of the Yards

by RiG on Dec 8, 2008 7:01 PM MST

Here I have attempted to create a better break down of the yardage gained by RBs other than average yard per carry

Heres a graph [i couln't get it to show up,if you know how please tell me!!]

via 3.bp.blogspot.com

Consistency:

Running for 2 yards

HILLIS: 100% cosistency
BELL: 64% cosistency

Running for 3 yards

HILLIS: 75% cosistency
BELL: 36% cosistency

Running for 4-5 yards

HILLIS: 63% cosistency
BELL: 27% cosistency

Running for 6-11 yards

HILLIS: 50% cosistency
BELL: 18% cosistency

Running for 12+ yards

HILLIS: 25% cosistency
BELL: 9% cosistency

*not shown Bell running for 1 yard 73% Consistency and 0 yards 100% Cosistency

Once i get the images to show up i can post another graph of the runner's consistency. Also to note is the limited data sample of the players-

As you can see Hillis's consistency is notably higher and has a much slower drop off rate, almost the opposite of Bell's. Hillis can be relied upon with good consistency to gain 3 yards while on the same token Bell can only be relied upon with good consistency to gain 1 yard.

Hey RIG

Need to remember that Bell came in and had to play the scheme that was drawn up for Hillis in regard to the running game.
The only negative i had to say about play calling was trying to use Tatum up the middle when that is not his strength. As soon as we gave it to him on a sweep he makes 28 yards.
The run game this week will be drawn up around more of his strengths….sweeps, misdirections, pitches etc that give him a chance to find the outside and bust one.
Hopefully Boyd will come in and pound it, and Tatum and/or Selvin will break some for us.
Thanks for the post man!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
