He's coaching the Rams

So good.

Run blocking has fallen off which in turn has hurt the red zone success. You pair that with a qb who struggles to read defenses and things can easily fall off.

Now that the 9ers have a guy who seemingly does read defenses well in a small sample things have ticked up.

Acording to YAC, it's sounding like it's caught up to last year's numbers. Maybe just a different style is why we both think this. Less explosives and home runs and more IZ and gap/power?

I can't speak to the research from last year but it sure felt like we were money in the RZ and yes, agreed, the running was a big success there.

Definitely, this is the area I'm really excited to watch develop. Run blocking too. We're going to need it!

Not quite. More explosives but less homeruns and just as efficient when looking at 1st downs gained on the ground.

There is a crazy discrepancy in offensive redzone efficency this season and gives us something to really ponder. At home we are 40.74% in redzone scoring. On the road we are 73.68% in redzone scoring. Our redzone efficiency in away games is tied for 2nd in the league, while our home game redzone effiency ranks us 2nd to last in the league. Our home redzone efficency must have been even worse before the bucs game because we have been 60% in the last 2 games at home. Is Kyle's playcalling just more aggressive on the road than it is at home, just a coincidence or is there something else at play?

could be. we have been blowing teams out at home so maybe less need to score TDs later in games

Maybe. I had another thought as well. I think I might do some research on our opponents defensive redzone efficiency rankings and compare home vs away to try to rule that possibility out.

It seems like the things that stall our drives - red zone or not - have been penalties. We're just not built to gain a lot more than 10 yards per 3 downs. Definitely something we could keep track of moving forward, but Is there any way to see exactly what has been hurting us up to now? Play calling seems like the the low hanging fruit to me.

When I looked into our worste redzone efficient games I dove into the play by play. I did not see many penalties in the redzone. So I think that we can rule that out as a possibility. If it is playcalling than why? With the discrepancy between home and away efficiency, it can't just be playcalling itself. There must be another underlying factor. If we didn't know any better we would assume that our efficiency would be better at home than away but its the opposite.

This is even more fascinating. You're on your game tonight!

Our away opponents home defensive redzone efficiency averaged a ranking of 15th and an average of 51.21% efficiency. Our home opponents away defensive redzone efficiency averaged a ranking of 16th and a average of 57.27% efficiency.

I think that we can rule out the idea that our home opponents have better defensive redzone efficiency. Since they have been ranked slightly worse and have been 6% less efficient.

Not to change the subject of offense but our defense has been the exact opposite of our offense. Our defense ranks 31st in redzone efficiency at a 78.57% rate on the road while ranking 3rd at a rate of 33.33% at home.

We are 6-1 at home and 4-3 on the road.

Coach of the Year!!!

We need the #2 seed to ensure at least to home games then.

Understandable why Kyle might be more conservative at home. Home team defense has the advantage so on offense just take the points.

And be more aggressive in the redzone on offense because our redzone defense hasn't been very good on the road.

We've played 7 road games and allowed 110 points. We've played 7 home games and allowed 100 points. We have allowed the lowest points in the NFL so far this season.
