Drew Olson - Week 6

In one of those weird scheduling quirks, Drew Olson and the Admirals played Hamburg again this week. Last week, Drew had just an awful game. He missed on his first 5 passes and then threw a nasty pick-6. To make matters worse, he got injured and missed almost the entire game.

In the rematch this week, things could not have gone any better. The first series or two stalled on some penalties, but after that the Admiral were rocking. Drew had, by far, the best game in his professional career. He connected for 3 touchdown passes and even ran one in himself. He had a total of 308 passing yards in a brilliant effort.

The Admirals finally put together a complete offensive game. The running back, Smith, had 4 touchdowns (two of those were passes from Drew) and the offensive line was dominant up front. Drew looked very comfortable and I think he is finally getting back some of that confidence he had his Senior year at UCLA. Hopefully Drew can keep the momentum going for the rest of the season.

Since the stat post does not allow commentraies, I'm going to post my 5 cents here.

One things I've always wondered about is if it is possible to gauge someone's playing stamina via the kind of stat you created. Who's a "workhorse"- someone who will give you consistent performance all 60 minutes, versus some one who will give you pretty good performance, provided that you don't overuse that guy.

With the stat you have, you can create something like "1st-10th play performance", comparing how that person did at the 10th pay he particiapted in versus how that player did on the first play....

Sorry about the comments on the Statistics post. I've turned on comments now. I think that is a great idea, showing performance over the course of a game. I know that ESPN does that for the NFL players. I'll see if that is something I can add to my reports.
