Patriots Ranked 7th in Football Outsiders DVOA

Patriots Ranked 7th in Football Outsiders DVOA

If you don’t know how to read Football Outsiders DVOA advanced stats I highly recommend you figure it out (they have in depth explanations on the site). Basically they grade each play based on the situation (so getting 2 yard on 1st and 10 gets a low grade, but getting 2 yards on 4th and 2 gets a high grade), and the Patriots are one team known to use their stats.

Any way the Patriots are 7th overall after week two. The breakdown is:

  • 3rd in Offense
  • 29th in Defense (eeeeeeek!)
  • 6th in Special Teams

The Jets are 4th overall.

  • 12th in Offense.
  • 8 in Defense.
  • 9th in Special Teams.

The Dolphins are 5th overall.

  • 14th in Offense.
  • 5th in Defense.
  • 21st in Special Teams.

The Bills are 32nd (aka last) overall.

  • 29th in Offense.
  • 27th in Defense.
  • 12th in Special Teams

He is a move player who is as much wide receiver as he is traditional tight end. He can line up on the line of scrimmage in the traditional tight end spot, but he is best detached from the formation or in motion.

He’s a superb route runner for a rookie tight end and has soft, secure hands. He is also exceptional after the catch. Hernandez caught every pass thrown his way this past Sunday and has a catch of 45 yards or more in both games as a pro. Hernandez is exactly the type of player who succeeds in the NFL. He is the type of player who creates mismatches in his team’s favor.

The Patriots Offense Will Evolve Without Faulk

by

Upon scanning the internets this morning I found a general state of panic and doom amongst many Patriots fans over the loss of Kevin Faulk. Of course, that’s to be expected with New England fans.

Make no mistake, we all know that Faulk was the unsung hero of the Patriots dynasty, but I believe his loss will force the Patriots offense to evolve in a way that will greatly benefit them down the road.
