00:16Detroit Lions

00:18they were 16th last year

00:22and I'll read up the write up here

00:24I didn't think I would need to brush up the old Schottenheimer

00:26stats from when he was coordinating Seattle

00:28and fans were beseeching Pete Carroll

00:30to pass football but here we go

00:32he's been an offensive coordinator for 14 years in the league

00:346 with the Jets, 3 with the Rams, Seahawks

00:362 with the Cowboys

00:38he called plays in 12 of those seasons

00:40of those 14 but look at all 14

00:42his success rate on offense averages

00:4443% the league

00:46average was 43%

00:48so right around the league average

00:50his offensive score an average of

00:521.85 points per drive the league average

00:54is 1.91 so

00:55not terribly far off

00:58expected points

01:00added per play

01:01his offense is literally average out to 0.00

01:04so

01:05I don't know if they use

01:080.00 as like

01:10100 on OPS plus

01:11where that's like league average

01:13above or below

01:14I don't know

01:15yeah

01:15lather up ladies

01:16I think it's also important

01:18to know

01:19and we talked about this a little bit

01:21when Schottenheimer got hired

01:21and we were trying to figure out

01:22alright what's the real

01:23legacy for him

01:24or what's the real context

01:25of how good he's been

01:26as a coordinator

01:26is that

01:28for instance

01:29the Jets

01:29as bad as his reputation

01:31was with the Jets

01:31and when you look at the numbers

01:32the numbers aren't great

01:33but when you look at it

01:34those are some of the high marks

01:37of Jets offensive rankings

01:39over the last 20 years

01:4025 years

01:41like I mean

01:42he got the most

01:42out of

01:43basically any offense

01:44they've had in 25 years

01:45and in Seattle

01:46we've heard

01:47he was fighting Pete Carroll

01:48to do more modern stuff

01:49Pete Carroll wasn't letting him

01:50alright so here's more

01:51that's not to say

01:52the Cowboys offense

01:53will be averaged

01:54the personnel matches up nicely

01:55with his preferred offense

01:56between the tackles

01:57running game

01:58vertical routes

01:58to the passing game

01:59it's just tough to argue

02:00him as an elevator

02:01of the offense

02:02when we have a large body

02:03of work to show otherwise
