That's it. Appreciate it. These are the plays that wins games and kills drives. Even though i think they got bailed out with a fluke penalty after that play.

His first sack kinda got overshadowed and swallowed up quickly because the saints snapped the ball in like 3 seconds for a big chunk play right after .

Larry Krueger has been a critic of Williams since the draft. I wouldn't say he's been too harsh, mainly just not optimistic, well tonight he gave high praise.

"man was I wrong about Mykel Williams. Great game and if he continues to play like that - great career". Which is cool to see a go not stick his head in the ground and do whatever needed to try to remain "right".

cant wait to see Mykel against the cards. I think he gets his first sack

Looks like teams are 8 for 31 against us when Williams is on the field and 14 for 21 against us when he's off the field. But I don't know what a "successful rushing attempt" is. Is it 5+ yards? A first down?

Looks like we've only allowed 12 rushing first downs and one rushing TD so far so it can't just be that…

Exactly what I'm sure they were hoping for from him, seeing him be a dominant force against the run while he develops as a pass rusher. Its going to be especially essential this weekend after James Conner ran for 6 yards a clip in the 4th quarter against the 49ers last season.

Per Google: rushing success rate measures the percentage of rushing plays that achieve a specific yardage threshold to stay on schedule. A play is considered successful if it gains at least 40% of the necessary yards on first down, 60% on second down, and 100% (a first down or touchdown) on third or fourth down. To calculate it, you divide the number of successful rushing plays by the total number of rushing plays.

Interesting. So 1st and 10 going to 2nd and 6 would count as a success, 2nd and 6 to 3rd and 2, etc.

I'm really curious what the league average is on this, but 8 for 31 sounds like a good defense to me if this definition is correct. Basically means only 8 runs were >3 yards.

And 3rd and anything success is a 1st down. Success rate applies to the passing game too.

I don't know the average but 2023 49ers:
CMC 54%
Aiyuk 70%
Deebo 56.2%
Kittle 60%
Jennings 48.5%
Juice 82.4%

It's an interesting metric, but how players are used has a major impact on the results and that doesn't show up in basic stats. Like if 100% of a receivers targets are beyond the line to gain then their success rate will be 100% if they make a catch.

We can't really compare by offensive player here — Mykel Williams being on the field brings the percentage way down for opponents, sure. What I'm wondering is what's the average rushing success rate across the entire NFL. Does the average team have a successful run play 40% of the time they run the ball? 50%? 60%?

Yeah, and I said I don't know the average. I was just making the point that an all time great season by a running back got 54% success rate. The average is probably a little below 50%.
