Goal-line rushing

Posted Feb. 10 at 12:49 AM

I am working on compiling some stat charts – taking a closer look at some of the key fantasy numbers 2010. And as I look at the goal-line rushing plays, I see that the Dolphins and Jets were the most effective teams running the ball in that area.

The Cowboys and Bucs, meanwhile, were the worst running teams in that area. The Cowboys scored on only 5 of 18 plays inside the 2-yard line, and the Bucs (despite LeGarrette Blount’s big year) scored on only 4 of 16 running plays from either the 1 or 2.

TEAMS SCORING ON OVER 60% OF CARRIES FROM THE 1-2 YARD LINE:
  Att  TD   Pct   
   5   4   80%   Miami
   7   5   71%   NY Jets
   6   4   67%   Detroit
   9   6   67%   Oakland
   9   6   67%   Minnesota


TEAMS SCORING ON LESS THAN 40% OF CARRIES FROM THE 1-2 YARD LINE:
 Att  TD  Pct   
  18   7   39%   Green Bay
   8   3   38%   Jacksonville
  16   6   38%   Atlanta
  11   4   36%   San Francisco
  11   4   36%   Washington
   9   3   33%   St. Louis
  12   4   33%   Tennessee
  15   5   33%   Chicago
  16   4   25%   Tampa Bay
  18   5   22%   Dallas
