The Denver Broncos will have a new play-caller this season in head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 4.1% more towards passing than it did last season (context-neutralized).
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 43.2 pass attempts per game versus the Tennessee Titans defense this year: most in the NFL.
Jerry Jeudy has been less involved as a potential target this year (89.8% Route% in games he has played) than he did last year (77.4%).
THE BLITZ projects Jerry Jeudy to accrue 7.9 targets this week, on average, putting him in the 82nd percentile among wideouts.
Jerry Jeudy has posted far more air yards this season (91.0 per game) than he did last season (57.0 per game).
Cons
THE BLITZ projects the Broncos to call the least plays on offense on the slate this week with 62.2 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
Jerry Jeudy’s possession skills have worsened this year, with his Completion% falling off from 70.0% to 56.5%.
The Tennessee Titans safeties project as the 8th-best group of safeties in football this year in pass coverage.
The Tennessee Titans have stacked the box versus opponents on just 10.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 4th-least in football. Choosing not to keep an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
The Denver Broncos have gone no-huddle on just 3.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (8th-least in the league). This slows down the pace, leading to less volume and stat-padding.
