The Saints do, in fact, employ a voodoo priestess. Which do you think would be more helpful to the Saints- firing Pete Carmichael or hiring a Voodoo priestess to cast a spell to take away all the bad juju? – on Threads. When players drafted to anchor their offensive line become liabilities, it can become a crisis for their teams that cannot be solved all that easily. I will note that there are lots of “big name” recent high draft picks on the offensive line who have had noticeably horrible games: Evan Neal, Ickey Ekwonu, Trevor Penning, Mekhi Becton, Jedrick Wills. That looks like evidence of a possible decline in line play, but we are dealing with unofficial, subjective charting stats. Poor offensive line play is only partly to blame in both cases.ĭigging deeper into the Sports Info Solutions database, the NFL Blown Block rate through Week 4 is 16.1%. Howell’s sack rate is a stunning 14.6%, Ridder’s 11.6%. Inexperienced quarterbacks hold the ball too long, scramble when they shouldn’t, fail to audible out of bad plays/make adjustments at the line and do all sorts of other things that nerf offensive production. When one-third of the league’s quarterbacks are novices, it’s going to have an impact on both sack rate and overall offensive quality. ![]() Six other Week 4 quarterbacks - Joshua Dobbs, Jordan Love, Kenny Pickett, Brock Purdy, Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell - have less than 16 career starts. Now, it’s important to remember that five rookie quarterbacks started last week. Again: evidence that blocking has been poor this year, though per-carry averages have wobbled around four-point-something for decades so we should not overreact. Rushers are averaging 4.2 years per carry through Week 4, down from 4.5 yards per carry in 2022, 4.3 in 2021 and 4.4 in 2020. That’s reasonable evidence to suggest that offensive line play has fallen off. The NFL-wide sack rate through Week 4 is 7.2%. Is there any qualitative evidence to suggest if that’s true, and why? – Max Hrenda on Threads. Offensive line play in general seems to have fallen off dramatically this season. But every top contender but the Bengals looks like themselves, the rebuilding teams are rebuilding and there are no real OMG How is This Happening stories unfolding around the NFL. Sure, a top quarterback could get hurt, the NFC South is a jumble and some surprise team like the Texans or Commanders could claim a Wild Card berth. I’m rather surprised at how settled the standings look after four weeks.
