Titans 31 Browns 13: Chris Johnson Success Rate

by Jimmy on Oct 3, 2011 4:30 PM CDT

Explanation:

Each individual rush is considered on it's own, and measured by it's "success." A run is considered successful if it gets 40% of the yardage needed to move the chains on first down, 60% of the yardage needed on second down, and 100% of the yardage needed on third or fourth down. This is a much more accurate overall picture of how well a running back does in a game than just the total yardage or ypc averages because it ignores big run outliers that can skew those kinds of stats

Stats after the jump.

This was by far CJ's most successful game of the season, and after going back and looking at it this way, he actually had a really good game. I know we are still waiting for the 80 yard touchdown run, but if he can turn in games where his success rate is 48% the Titans are going to be successful as a team.

This pretty much reflects what I felt like I was seeing.

I hope CJ is back, finally.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

Credit to you TT.

Clearly I was wrong in what I thought I saw. You were spot on. Maybe I was just having flashbacks of the first three games. Honestly though, I am super excited to be wrong on this one.

dont wanna say anything too revealing but

The steelers have been WAY too weak on the run .. do not subscribe to anything stated on behind the steel curtain, they say they stopped them from scoring, but I think the Texans stopped themselves from scoring more than anything

Sarge is back this week

To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, 'Hey, can you give me a hand,' you can say, 'Sorry, got these sacks.
