"Eli Manning has been hit just 3 times this season"

LI NHB : 9/23/2016 12:13 pm
fewest among all NFL starting quarterbacks.

Per John Schmeelk on Twitter.

OL cynics please discuss.

The ball is coming out of Eli's hands very quickly.
Well he's been sacked 4...  
guitarguybs12 : 9/23/2016 12:15 pm : link
so someones math is wrong
That doesn't sound right  
ZogZerg : 9/23/2016 12:16 pm : link
I thought he was hit more than that in the Dallas game?

they're referring to "QB hits", which is when the QB gets hit without being sacked. You know, like during games when they show the sacked/hit/hurried stats.
The right side is certainly still a questionable area  
LI NHB : 9/23/2016 12:22 pm : link
but as a group we should all be pleased with the growth in Flowers game through the first couple games.
hits + sacks + penalties + hurries  
giants#1 : 9/23/2016 12:22 pm : link
would be a better metric. Newhouse was awful last week. Saints/Cowboys also have 2 of the weakest DLs in football.

That said, Eli's among the best at avoiding sacks and the offense is predicated on quick throws so I don't expect them to give up a lot of hits/sacks.
sacks are hits  
WillieYoung : 9/23/2016 12:22 pm : link
unless you go out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage while attempting to pass.
The QB gets hit when sacked  
ZogZerg : 9/23/2016 12:22 pm : link
So that's BS then
yea..partying with the boys after the wins...  
BCD : 9/23/2016 12:22 pm : link
coming in late...wifey upset.
1st time with a frying pan...next time a straight right hand...finally with a bike kick stand.

ahhh. never realized there was a difference...now i'm curious as to why their separate, as what does it matter if a QB is hit "3" times but say he was sacked 9 in the same time period
sacks not being hits

It's not that people were down on the OLine, they were just up on the Cowboys & Saints pass rushers...oh wait.
The right side

of the offensive line is still a major concern moving forward
Most (if not all) people were not as concerned about pass pro  
speedywheels : 9/23/2016 12:47 pm : link
as they were about the run game. Even last year, the OL did a decent job in the passing game; it was the run game where there were problems (and were again vs Saints)
Washington has a much better pass rush  
mfsd : 9/23/2016 12:48 pm : link
than Dallas or New Orleans. In the immortal words of Winston Wolf...let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet...
Haha, it doesn't make any sense.

I think Cameron Jordan was pretty good for NOLA and so I'm not so sure Washington is that much better.
They've only played two games ...  
Beer Man : 9/23/2016 1:18 pm : link
One was against a very poor Dallas line. Plus with Mac's quick hit O, the ball doesn't generally stay in Eli's hands very long.
Our line is so bad, they only give up sacks.  
Maryland Giant : 9/23/2016 1:28 pm : link
They are not good enough to just allow a hit.
Pretty good

I Assume The Stat Goes Something Like  
Trainmaster : 9/23/2016 1:33 pm : link
1) No "QB contact" (no hit, knocked down or sacked)
2) QB hit (but not knocked down or sacked)
3) QB knocked down (but not sacked)
4) QB sacked

On a given play, only one of the 4 choices is recorded. A flaw might be if a QB is "sacked" by the ball being knocked out of his hand, he clearly wasn't hit or knocked down.
Why is it when someone gripes about the OL,  
Brown Recluse : 9/23/2016 1:36 pm : link
people try to justify it with QB pressure?

The run game sucks 3 years running now because of the offensive line.

RUNNING GAME.

Not passing game.

Yep.

1) 3.2 Yards Per Carry, which is 28th in the league, despite playing two poor defenses.

2) Also, plays down field have been limited -7 plays of 20 yards, which is only middle of the road despite having Eli and one of the best receiver groups in the league facing one defense with no pass rush and another with no secondary.

It should be blatantly obvious with the talent this team has on offense that it's the Oline that's the limiting factor. You can twist the narrative with selective data, or you can accept the obvious fact that this team has needs up front. Somehow I don't get the feeling they are going pass up on that Oline in next years draft --despite the wonderful job some might have you believe this group is doing.

No contact, hurried, hit, sack are all measurements of the Defensive impact upon the QB and gives more context to a play. Hits and hurries obviously impact the play of the offense - in a quick offense like ours, hits and hurries may be more telling than sacks.

Similar stat package is used for DBs in how they score their impact on the WR during a play. WR redirected, defensed, breakups, etc.

Can you elaborate? If the QB fumbles, it's recorded as a sack + fumble if caused by the defense behind the LOS, even if he doesn't go down.

If a QB falls down 1 yard behind the line of scrimmage and the defender simply touches him, the NFL records that as a sack.

If a QB is scrambling and is behind the line of scrimmage and the defender makes any level of contact with him to end the play as he goes out of bounds, the NFL records that as a sack.

Sacks and hits are in fact two different things. You can add them both to total combined pressure.
Eli has been getting rid of the ball like lightening  
Vanzetti : 9/23/2016 4:47 pm : link
but that will also lead to INTs

Pass protection has been adequate at best

Correct.

Case in point to use would be in the Giants-Packers NFC Divisional playoff game in 2011-12.

Osi knocked the ball out of Rodgers hands in the 3rd quarter to cause a fumble that the Giants recovered. He didn't sack him or take him to the ground.

Here is how the NFL scored it:

1-10-NYG 30

(10:36) A.Rodgers sacked at NYG 37 for -7 yards (O.Umenyiora). FUMBLES (O.Umenyiora), RECOVERED by
NYG-D.Grant at NYG 37. D.Grant to NYG 37 for no gain (T.Lang).

So the NFL ruled it a sack even though Osi didn't "hit" him in the traditional sense you might think by tackling him to the turf. Simply contacting his right hand to force the ball loose is still counted and recorded as a sack.
Gotta be able to run the ball with consistency in order for the OL
