This post is being made to show the scoring efficiency of our offense when one of our 3 main backs touch the ball on any possesion. I was somewhat surprised by the findings.
Pierre Thomas:
15 possessions - 5 scoring drives - 33% scoring efficiency
Mike Bell:
16 possessions - 10 scoring drives - 62.5% scoring efficiency
Reggie Bush:
29 possessions - 18 scoring drives - 62.1% scoring efficiency
It is widely thought that PT is our most efficient back, and for individual statistics this is true, but for team success Mike Bell gets us in the endzone the most, with Reggie closely behind. I counted passes and runs, which seems to stack the deck against Bell, but he still produced more points for our offense than any other back.
I'm not sure what this says, but it's interesting nonetheless. It's hard to compare PT's rate to Bell because they have no common games, but the fact that Bush has such a high rate through all 4 games suggests that the offense benefits from him being in the game and on the team. When we get a couple more games down the line, I think this will be more telling.
