Final 2007 Stats and Metrics for the Bengals Offensive Line
by Kirkendall
on Jan 1, 2008 3:10 PM EST
in Stats
The offensive line has a limit set of stats. And we all know that stats are everything when comparing players -- FYI, that's sarcasm. Anyway, here's a few Bengals offensive line numbers that might, or might not, interest you. Note: Eric Ghiaciuc's numbers were unavailable at Stats Inc.
| Players | Penalties | Yards | False Starts | Holding | Sacks Allow. |
| Andrew Whitworth | 7 | 50 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
| Levi Jones | 4 | 20 | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| Bobbie Williams | 5 | 40 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| Stacy Andrews | 7 | 35 | 7 | 0 | 1 |
| Willie Anderson | 3 | 20 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Alex Stepanovich | 1 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Scott Kooistra | 1 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
With all that said, I wanted to promote the line using Football Outsider's numbers. The offensive line set a franchise low giving up 17 sacks. The offensive line had the second best adjusted sack rate -- sacks per pass attempt adjusted for opponent, down and distance -- in the NFL.
Alternatively, the Bengals offensive line ranked 17th with a 4.15 adjusted line yards -- weight of success depending on situation and yards gained (more explanation here).
Power success -- percentage of runs on third (or fourth) down with two yards or less to go that achieved either a first down or a touchdown -- is very good. The Bengals offensive line ranked 7th converting at a 73% clip.
Only 7% of their runs recorded 10 yards or more (30th in NFL) with a 24% stuffed rate -- 19th in NFL. Stuffed is explained: " Percentage of runs that result in (on first down) zero or negative gain or (on second through fourth down) less than one-fourth the yards needed for another first down. Since being stuffed is bad, teams are ranked from stuffed least often (#1) to most often (#32)."
While many of the Bengals rushing problems could be directed at the offensive line. There was also successful items that could be directly attributed to the line.

Tracking Trends: Bengals rankings and yards, compared to the league thoughtout season
by Kirkendall
on Dec 10, 2007 4:29 PM EST
in Stats
These are rankings and averages picked up in the pre-game Primers. This is before the games, not after. This charts the trends for the offense and defense throughout the season. Week #11 is scratched out because NFL.com didn't update their numbers and I didn't realize it. And I didn't start adding "total" until after the fourth game.

Rambling about a few numbers...
by Kirkendall
on Dec 6, 2007 2:31 PM EST
in Stats
There's a chance that Willie Anderson could return Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. In Wednesday's practice report, Anderson was labeled as Limited Participation in Practice. Along with Eric Ghiaciuc (knee), Deltha O'Neal (knee), Domata Peko (ankle) and Bobbie Williams (foot). T.J. Houshmandzadeh (back) and Madieu Williams (thigh) sat Wednesday.
Detaching ourselves for a moment from the misery that is a Bengals fan, let's examine some trends and placements.
First, trends compared to previous seasons. The 2007 numbers are based on simple projections.
| Palmer | Comp | Att | Yards | TDs | INTs | Sacks |
| 2007 | 399 | 616 | 4,345 | 28 | 20 | 21 |
| 2006 | 324 | 520 | 4,035 | 28 | 13 | 36 |
| 2005 | 345 | 509 | 3,836 | 32 | 12 | 19 |
| 2004* | 263 | 432 | 2,897 | 18 | 18 | 25 |
* Only played 13 games.
Carson Palmer ranks 15th among NFL quarterbacks completing 34% (16/47) of all third down conversions when the distance to go is eight yards or more. It gets better. On third down with three to seven yards to go, Palmer's completed 35 of 66 passes for first downs -- that ranks seventh in the NFL. Wait, there's more.
When the Bengals line up in three wide receiver sets, Carson Palmer has a very pedestrian 81.8 passer rating. With only two receivers flanked, Palmer's 118.8 passer rating ranks second in the NFL -- Tom Brady has a 144.1 rating in two receiver sets.
Reason why shotgun is not a good formation for the Bengals offense: Palmer's rating in shotgun is 64.8 -- that ranks 19th in the AFC just in front of Denver's Patrick Ramsey.
Palmer's first half passer rating (100.1) ranks fourth in the NFL. That drops significantly in the second half -- he's not even in the top-20 in the NFL. His 76.7 rating ranks 13th in the AFC.
An interesting note: Palmer ranks second in the NFL with completions going for 1,275 yards after the catch.
Late picks: Palmer's five fourth quarter interceptions is tied for fourth in the NFL.
In the Red Zone, Palmer has completed 42 of 66 passes (3rd). Inside the opponent's 10-yard line: 54.5% (t-12th).
Moving onto something more complicated. In 2005, Palmer recorded a DPAR (Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement) of 108.3. That ranked second to Peyton Manning's 112.5. Since no one is touching Tom Brady's 159.9 DPAR, the battle for second is waged between the league's best NFC teams (Favre and Romo). Palmer's 81.3 DPAR ranks sixth in the league this year -- lowest since 2004.
| Chad | Rec. | Yards | TDs |
| 2007 | 103 | 1,503 | 8 |
| 2006 | 87 | 1,369 | 7 |
| 2005 | 97 | 1,432 | 9 |
| 2004 | 95 | 1,274 | 9 |
| 2003 | 90 | 1,455 | 10 |
| 2002 | 69 | 1,166 | 5 |
| 2001 | 28 | 329 | 1 |
Chad's on pace for a career year in receptions and yards.
| Houshmandzadeh | Rec. | Yards | TDs |
| 2007 | 117 | 1,219 | 15 |
| 2006 | 90 | 1,081 | 9 |
| 2005 | 78 | 956 | 7 |
| 2004 | 73 | 978 | 4 |
| 2003 | -- | -- | -- |
| 2002 | 41 | 492 | 1 |
| 2001 | 21 | 288 | 0 |
Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are on pace for 220 receptions for 2,722 yards receiving and 23 touchdowns.

Boller vs. the Bengals and available defensive free agents
by Kirkendall
on Nov 7, 2007 3:34 PM EST
in Stats
After their second Monday Night embarrassment (one also handed by the Bengals with six turnovers), some in Baltimore are wondering if the team should replace Steve McNair with Kyle Boller. So for fun, let's examine Boller's career numbers against the Bengals. Of Note: In games that Boller appears against Cincinnati, the Bengals are 4-1. If he starts, we are 3-1. Either way, Brian, bring on Boller. Bring him on.
(result is based OUR results... so if it says win under results, that means we won, not the Ravens -- hey, we're a Bengals blog).
| Date | Result | Comp/Att | Yards | TD | INT |
| 9.10.07 | W, 27-20 | 2/6 | 19 | 0 | 1 |
| 11.27.05 | W, 42-29 | 18/32 | 211 | 3 | 2 |
| 12.5.04 | W, 27-26 | 19/33 | 172 | 0 | 1 |
| 9.26.04 | L, 9-23 | 11/18 | 126 | 1 | 0 |
| 10.19.03 | W, 34-26 | 15/27 | 302 | 2 | 1 |

Hello, Mr. Defense? (crickets)
So, you're wondering right now which defensive player is available, aren't you? Titans insider did all the hard work.
Grant Wistrom - He's likely to retire but it's not out of the question that a team could talk him into playing again.
Lance Johnstone - He was released by the Raiders earlier this year, but could fill a situational pass rushing role.
Kenard Lang - Could be a fourth end for a team and plays the run well.
Michael Haynes (DT) - The former first-round pick of the Chicago Bears had a tryout with the Houston Texans this season.
Kenny Peterson (DT) - He could fill a No. 4 end role for a team and had a tryout with the Oakland Raiders.
Courtney Brown - The oft-injured end and former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns may be done playing.
Bobby Hamilton - He's seen as an end in a 3-4 and could provide a 10-15 snaps or so for a team that uses that scheme. He had a tryout with the New England Patriots this season.
Tyoka Jackson (DT) - Can play inside or outside as a fourth end or tackle.
Tony Bryant - He hasn't played since last season but could fill a fourth end role for a team.

Lional Dalton - Could be a solid fourth tackle for a team.
Kenderick Allen - He could be a solid fourth tackle for a team. He had a tryout with the Houston Texans and a visit with the Tennessee Titans this season.
