Moseley's Season-in-Review series

Post by greenyellow »

Rob Moseley has started his annual season-in-review with his look at the QB position. Interesting note in the review was that they estimated there were around 40-50 drops by Oregon receivers, which is much higher than what was reported at the Redbox Bowl by Fox Sports. That is just way too high for a P5 team.

Drops are a tough stat. I was reading up on it when trying to find any data on the number of drops we had and it sounds like when most stat trackers do it they just take a sample and extrapolate for the season. So in the NFL they count drops in 4 games or something and multiply by 4. Wish I could find the pages now.

I wish Mosely had mentioned where he got his number from, I hate when people use a stat to make a point but don't source it or explain the methodology.

Of all reporters, I would venture to guess his data would be most accurate. Being internal to Ducks Football, he likely has access to real game data and not subset calculation based on 4 games data.

I mean, if he has that data why an estimate of 40-50?

Good question and one that I don't know. Candidly, I am guessing too but would think he's looking at official stats and Football staff stats.

In all likelihood, either a grad assistant to the WR coach or the WR coach himself will track the drops by his guys. This is part of 'grading' after each game. They probably don't have any kind of central repository for obscure stats, but rather keep a tally or spreadsheet themselves. It's possibly Moseley had a conversation with Johnson or Arroyo and they estimated to him that there were "40 to 50 drops" and that's what he used for his piece.

Man having a strong running game really changes the game. Definitely something we lacked this year.

A more interesting stat would be how many times Mitchell was targeted compared to our past elite receivers, or even elite receivers around the country.

Today it's the DL. Based on the depth chart for next season having 5 SRs, I can see why the Oregon coaches are trying to add DL in 2019 so they won't be inexperienced in 2020.
