revis was thrown at that many times...it's not a misprint I'm trying to figure out what's more impressive. That QB rating versus Revis with all of those pass attempts at him or Aso's 20 attempts per season in his direction.
valid point as was the earlier poster who said the underneath stuff. i dont mean to say that he is better than revis but to be thrown at only 20 times is deion sanders type stuff. just forget about the entire side of the field.
The problem with Aso though, is that he just stays on the left side of the field, regardless of who is there. I would love to see how many time the opponents threw the ball in which directions. You beat Aso by not throwing his way. Revis follows your #1 guy all around the field, and lets face it, your gonna throw at your top target, even with revis on him, at least 4-7 times per game.
God that's crazy. He's literally on an island out there (pun intended). This is a very cool graph, thanks for sharing.
Revis: Thrown at 111 times, completed 41 catches, 36.9% caught, 32.3 QB rating against. Nnamdi: Thrown at 28 times, completed 21 catches, 75% caught, 98.2 QB rating against.
They should've used this to determine Defensive Player of the Year. I remember some columnist saying Revis wasn't thrown at as much, this chart clears that up, and if any of the voters bothered to read any stats besides TD's.
And the fact they probably only threw at Nnamdi when the receiver was WIDE open. I'm sure if they only threw at Revis 28 times that percentage would be much higher than 36.9% caught...
Asomugha is assigned to one side of the field religiously, no matter what receiver is there. That gave teams, including the Jets, the freedom to put their #1 receiver on the opposite side of the field from him all day long.
that is truly amazing I don't think people here understand just how amazing this statistic is... If a QB throws the ball away every down (0 completions, x attempts, 0 yards), that's a 39.6 QB rating. Against Revis, the QB rating was 32. That means that QB's are much better off throwing the ball away than throwing it near Revis. BTW, Revis has so many balls thrown his way because Rex rolled coverage to the other side most of the time. QB's had no choice but to throw toward Revis. That's just good scheming.
