Your response had nothing to do with mine, which is that Russell only threw 2 passes in the first quarter.
Context matters. Throwing out a 50% number without ANY context to drive and play calling sequencing is silly and doesn’t disprove people’s accurate frustrations
Context? Here's some context:
* There were two passes by Wilson in the first quarter, but there were four pass PLAYS called. One became a sack, one a scramble. So that's 5 runs, 4 passes actually called in the first quarter. Since our concern is what was actually called by the coaching staff, it's missing part of the picture to cite only the two passes that actually left Wilson's hand.
* When your defense can't get Dallas' offense off the field, that's going to play a role in reducing the number of Wilson throws. Dallas did have the edge in TOP during that first quarter.
* Sando was referencing the first 28 minutes. You cited only the first quarter. Since Sando's 50% figure is not incorrect, that means the 13 minutes of the second quarter had to be pass-heavy for the overall average to hit 50%. And it was - 5 passes to 3 runs.
So once you throw in that
context, the narrow fact of "he only threw two passes in the first quarter" really doesn't mean a whole lot anymore.
