He had a streak from 2005 to 2012 where he was not stopped even one time. The Eagles ranked fifth in DVOA on third-and-short, but were 30th on all first downs and 27th in third-and-long situations.
the defense has 9 in the box, or the offense has 4 wideouts). Finally, we close with a look at the short-yardage results for 2015 offenses and defenses.
As an extreme example, if you have two teams, and Team A gets a 1st down on 3rd and 1 50% of the time while rushing, but 0% of the time while passing, and Team B gets a 1st down on 3rd and 1 0% of the time while rushing but 100% of the time while passing, then Team A should always run on 3rd and 1 while Team B should always pass on 3rd and 1, and your summary stats will say that on average, offenses get 1st on 3rd and 1 50% of the time while rushing, while they get it 100% of the time while passing. Anyway, his low success rate certainly explains why he didn't try these very often.I have Manning at 14/18 since 2000.
One shortcoming in the data is that QB scrambles are counted simply as runs.
Here's the summary of all quarterback runs on fourth-and-1 since 2009:Quarterbacks had a solid 2015, picking up 27 first downs in 34 attempts, but that includes two botched handoffs that get credited to the quarterback. In other words, it does not take a genius to manufacture 1 or 2 yards.It was about nine years ago when I started looking at the third-and-2 conundrum, and I still cannot understand why teams view it so strongly as a passing situation. Getting cute is usually not the answer either. Teams are ranked by conversion rate (best to worst).Seattle and Philadelphia are the only offenses to rank in the top five in conversion rate in both 2014 and 2015. If you look at 3rd and 2, the same discrepancy exists in favor of running suggesting the bias may not be so significant. The third possibility is that, because a team can punt after a failed 3rd down but not after a failed 4th down, a QB is more likely to "hurl one up for grabs" down the field on 4th down.Note, however, that except in the case of QB runs, the 3rd and short plays are more successful, so if either of first two effects are in play, coaches are actually working against their intent. First, there are a limited number of 3rd in short plays in situations where a team knows it's going for it on 4th and short if the 3rd down conversion fails...so they are inclined to try "riskier" plays on the 3rd down attempt. Given that, you'd expect the conversion rates to be somewhat lower on 4th down.Really, this kind of problem is why I'm deeply skeptical about this article's conclusions. If this trend should continue, it would just make teams look even sillier for continuing to pass roughly 70 percent of the time in third-and-2 situations. 16 comments, Last at 28 Mar 2016, 9:45am He was 15-of-18 in 2014. That's the only right pitch."
A good surge is a good surge, and referees can be generous with the spot on these plays.There will always be drives where the clock is an issue or the goal is loftier than a 2-yard gain, but possession is crucial in the NFL, and it is hard to say most offenses are optimizing their short-yardage success. Matthew Stafford still does not have enough attempts to qualify yet, but he is 17-of-17 on short-yardage runs in his career (converting all 12 sneaks). From 2009-2014, there was only one such play on fourth-and-1. Of course the conversion rate is higher on sneaks. New retiree Denver easily had the best short-yardage offense in 2014, but really fell off in 2015. Part of that is he is much better scrambling than on designed runs, and scrambles only account for five of his 25 short-yardage plays. Seattle had the top DVOA thanks to allowing a miniscule 2.6 yards per play.
