Chiefs YAC

**jAZ** · 01-04-2010, 02:47 AM

I noticed how important yards/attempt was in calculating the QB rating. I was curious how the Chiefs stacked up to the NE and AZ offenses in YAC during 2009. I couldn't get a game/game figure for players, so I counted all of Longs and Chambers yards to as well as LJ's. That's probably an inflated number by maybe 50 yards, so I've rounded accordingly.

KC, 1100 YAC

NE, 1900 YAC
AZ, 1450 YAC

Other noteable teams...

DAL, 1700 YAC
DEN, 1550 YAC
DET, 1450 YAC
GNB, 1700 YAC
HOU, 1700 YAC
IND, 1700 YAC
MIN, 1700 YAC
NOR, 1900 YAC
SEA, 1550 YAC
SDG, 1650 YAC

Our top 5 guys in 2009:

Code:

Jamaal Charles, RB	KAN	204
Chris Chambers, WR	KAN	153
Dwayne Bowe,   WR	KAN	146
Bobby Wade,   WR	KAN	103
Mark Bradley,   WR	KAN	95

Charles was #68, Chambers was #112, Bowe was #119.

Our to 5 guys in 2008:

Code:

Dwayne Bowe,   WR	KAN	386
Jamaal Charles, RB	KAN	309
Tony Gonzalez, TE	KAN	258
Larry Johnson,   RB	KAN	109
Devard Darling,   WR	KAN	107

Bowe was #22 in the league, Charles was #44, Gonzo was #62.

So we had 3 players in 2008 who were MUCH better at YAC in 2008 than any player in 2009.

Why is that? Bowe's numbers are down somewhat because of his 4 games suspension. But Charles played much more, though probably less as a pass catching back?
