![]() ![]() In 2018, he had picked up a total of 67 yards at the catch point. In 2018, he had the advantage of 8 more passes allowing him to be more than a yard down the field before his catch.Īnother intriguing find comes from adding up the air yards (distance downfield for each pass) of his 81 passes in each season. In fact, in 2019, 41 of his 81 catches were thrown to him behind the line of scrimmage. ![]() Though this past season, he was consistently targets behind the line of scrimmage. Looking at 2018, his targets came an average of nearly a yard past the line of scrimmage. The other factor to consider here is the average location of his targets. Meaning that while he was given more room to work, on average he was picking up fewer yards after the catch. However, you can see nearly the same difference the opposite direction in his YAC in 2019 than the previous year. 7) more distance between him and nearest downfield defender on average in 2019 than he did in 2018. Here are my findings in regards to average air yardage, yards after catch, and depth of nearest defender for over the past two seasons.ĪK 2018/19 Avg Receiving Yardage Breakdown Seasonĭespite my initial assumption, Kamara actually had over a half yard (almost. With that curiosity in hand, I watched every one of his 81 receptions from 20 to see if there was any difference in the average yardage of depth from nearest downfield defender, his average depth of target, and how that information may inform us as we dive into a 2019 that felt different from the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year. If defenses were finally figuring out a way to contain Kamara, that would be a clear explanation for his dip in production, especially in the passing game. That play alone got me to wondering how after he saw that kind of real estate at all in the season, and whether or not defenses finally started to adjust to his play. However, even in the Titans game where he scored twice, Kamara was most recognized first for an uncanny play in which he took a reception out of bounds even though he had about 10 yards of green grass ahead of him. ![]()
