Ten of the last 11 Super Bowl champions had offenses that were among the 10 most sensitive scorers in the regular season. Eight also ranked among the 10 most sensitive in terms of defensive score, however, it has become transparent at a time when passes are satisfied that the attack takes precedence over defense.
With that in mind, it’s having a concept of the most productive aligned offensive sets to dominate in 2020.
Based on a combination of 2019 productivity, 2020 trajectory and off-season player movement, here’s a breakdown of the seven NFL offenses in the new campaign.
San Francisco 49ers: The San Francisco offense was one of five to average at least 6.0 yards consistent with last season’s game, and the 49ers were the best team to train in the NFC. But fieldback Jimmy Garoppolo’s playoff functionality is worrying, the more sensible catcher Deebo Samuel is out indefinitely with a damaged foot, and there’s no guarantee that rookie Brandon Aiyuk can simply upgrade veteran player Emmanuel Sanders. There are too many marks here.
Tennessee Titans: They want to be discussed because they came here in 2019 with the league’s top-rated pin, as well as their racing champion. But the loss of Jack Conklin’s offensive position is a factor, as is the genuine choice that it is the outliers of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, who were never Pro Bowlers before exploiting last year.
Detroit Lions: Detroit was widely seen as a wonderful inclusion founded on the promising move of Quarterback Matthew Stafford before a back injury ended his 2019 campaign. Add to that the dizzying trajectory of receiver Kenny Golladay, the addition of Andre Swift’s promising back and a strong cast of support beyond that, and the Lions can have a smooth attack on the 10 most sensitive by 2020.
The Minnesota Vikings’ remarkably balanced offense was a 4-set with an average of 8.0 yards consistent with pass attempt and 4.5 yards consistent with a running attempt in 2019. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is the fourth-highest-rated pin in the league, while Dalvin Cook is one of seven fullbacks on average over 80 yards on the floor consistent with the exit.
The offensive line has taken a step forward but remains elite in all areas, and there are herbal questions about the intensity of reception with rookie Justin Jefferson looking to fill the place of Stefon Diggs. But Cousins, Cook and the most sensible catcher Adam Thielen are stars, Jefferson, Kyle Rudolph and the tight second-round winger Irv Smith Jr. have elite potential, and this offense also deserves credit for the way it ended 2019.
After a complicated September, Cousins finished more than 70% of his passes, aying 8.3 yards consistent with the attempt, in the NFC, launched 23 landing passes with 4 interceptions and recorded a score of 112.8 landings.
They were the sixth-highest performing team in the league in that period, and deserve to return to that lineup thanks to talent, continuity and an upward trajectory as 2020 approaches.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gained more than 20 yards in 85 offensive games, a league record, in 2019. And while they might not be as explosive with Tom Brady, 43 as a quarterback, they are also expected to particularly reduce Array Led the NFL with 41 of them last season, but Brady is much more cautious than Jameis Winston.
The third-best performing team in the league in 2019 shouldn’t be worse off with Brady.
Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were two of the 4 qualified catchers who averaged more than 85 yards consistent with the game last year, ball carrier Ronald Jones II shone late, and now a closed-end intensity board forged by adding a long-running Hall of Fame member has been strengthened. Rob Gronkowski.
Oh, and not an underrated offensive line comprising two possible franchise tackles (Donovan Smith and first-round rookie Tristan Wirfs), a reliable young left guard (Ali Marpet) and an intermissioner (Ryan Jensen) who was named Pro Football. Focus’s second All-Pro team in 2019.
With Bruce Arians’ brains monitoring everything, there’s a clever chance it’s an offense in the top five, even if Brady helps keep falling by 43.
Offensively, the Bucs beat the Seattle Seahawks in the ultimate of every way imaginable… in the highest vital position in sport.
While Brady averaged only 5.9 yards consistent with the attempt and finished less than 5% of his passes at the time of his 42-year season, Russell Wilson continued to perform at an elite point consistent with a score of 106.3 assists. and a score of 31 a. five touchdown/interception ratio per year. One of the game’s biggest game creators, he was also tied for league leadership in last quarter returns (four) and winning records (five).
It wouldn’t be enough for the Seattle offensive to be on this list without a cast. And while Wilson is rarely very surrounded by as much skill as any of the other six more sensitive groups indexed here, a traditionally bad offensive line has at least one version of Duane Brown’s stalwart, a shallow receiver corps has at least two brilliant abilities. in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, and the backfield is pretty crowded with Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny and Carlos Hyde.
Now we’ll see if Carson and Penny can be healthy, whether Metcalf can continue to take off at this time of year and whether the line can gain more stability. The prospect is there, but those keep Seattle out of the 4 most sensitive despite Wilson’s presence.
It’s natural to wonder if the Baltimore Ravens’ offense may simply be due to regression after an outrageously successful season driven by quarterback MVP Lamar Jackson.
Jackson led the NFL with 36 touchdowns while qualifying sixth in the race with 1,206 yards on the ground, so this unit ranked first in terms of DVOA (defense adjusted relative to the average) in Football Outsiders both on the air and on the ground. . Training
However, there is no way that this violation is not one of the first five units.
But it’s not the wisest thing to do because the entire league will conspire to solve Jackson, the mythical guard Marshal Yanda has retired, veteran Mark Ingram II is now 30 years old and the receiving body still lacks elite skill (although that may replace the one founded on Marquise’s trajectory. Brown at the beginning of year 2).
In addition, based on the tight formula of Football Outsiders’ lost games, the Baltimore offense was healthier in 2019 than any other offensive organization in the league. There’s a chance he won’t be so lucky in 2020, but the skill remains undeniable.
The New Orleans Saints controlled the offensive. This unit led by Sean Payton and led by Drew Brees is more effective than any offense in football. They’re not explosives now that Brees is 41, however, in 2019, they were the first offense in NFL history to devote less than 10 ball losses in a season.
Surprisingly, it was brees’ most-scoring season, and he missed five games to a hand injury, only the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers scored more problems than new Orleans.
Michael Thomas is the league’s most productive catcher, Alvin Kamara is an eternal Pro Bowler in the backfield, closed wing Jared Cook has just finished a season of nine touchdowns and this supporting cast will be more powerful with veteran Emmanuel Sanders joining the scrum. There simply isn’t a weak spot, even on an offensive line that took first place in career lockout and third in pass coverage at Football Outsiders in 2019.
The only explanation why they’re not at the top? Brees is the second oldest player in the league and that decline can occur quickly. And while the Saints’ offense vibrates with the most productive of them, 18 other sets compiled pieces of more than 40 yards last season.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs have amassed 21 moves of more than 40 yards in the NFL, despite the fact that quarterback Patrick Mahomes was poorly in poor physical condition for much of his third season. The 2018 MVP was not at the beginning of the year with an ankle injury before he ran out of time and was subsidized by a knee injury, but the Chiefs were still leading the AFC with an average of 6.2 yards consistent with the game while scoring. the fifth. -the most important problems in general in football.
That’s because the offense, which overcame Mahomes with stars Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce as part of pass capture and Mitchell Schwartz pointing to a strong offensive line, bounced evenly into the straight. Heading to the first Suconsistente with the franchise’s Bowl victory in the part of a century, he averaged a ridiculous 39.0 points consistent with the playoff game.
Then why the Chiefs in the front row? Guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and the offensive part Damien Williams were critical gears in the race, and withdrew from the 2020 crusade due to similar cases to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if the elegant novice Clyde Edwards-Helaire helps keep his promises, it can be problematic for an attack that will have a target on his back after trying to deal with those exclusions within the excessive limits of the educational field.
That said, no one would blame you for Kansas City in first place anyway on the unique basis of Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and Schwartz.
Dak Prescott is not the most productive quarterback in the NFL, Amari Cooper is not the most productive open receiver in the NFL and Ezekiel Elliott is not the most productive ball carrier in the NFL (that’s at least questionable). And after the unforeseen retirement of half-half Travis Frederick, the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line is also not the most productive in football.
But no one has a three-headed monster like Prescott, Elliott and Cooper, and when that mixes with the fact that the line remains stacked, thanks to the presence of the left shot seven times in the Pro Bowl Tyron Smith and four times. Zack Martin, the first all-professional team, can watch the Cowboys have the ultimate elite offensive skill distributed in the NFL.
Under newly evolved head coach Mike McCarthy, the Dallas offensive may be unstoppable by 2020.
The broadest figures for 2019 reinforce everything. The Cowboys surprised the rest of the league with a 6.5-yard average consistent with the Baltimore Ravens game and final moment in offensive DVOA.
And we didn’t even mention promising first-round catcher CeeDee Lamb and supplementary pass receiver Michael Gallup, who also just finished a 1,100-yard season. It’s a disgrace of wealth.
They’ll miss Frederick, but they’re full of so many talented players on the rise or in their heyday that the Cowboys have the most productive offense in professional football this fall.
