Exactly correct. These tape guy threads are typically biased in concept and lend to desired outrage and overreaction. Meanwhile, you can sample any team in the league and find the offensive line blown up in one of more series per game. It is nothing but raw normalcy. Threads like this hint it as our train wreck alone. And that is insulting.
There is nothing wrong with dissecting minute details, as long as you understand the weakness and danger of that type of approach. Not many people do. The ones who dive into every category invariably want to believe they have discovered something that nobody else knows, and therefore it lends to greater clarity. Meanwhile, a handful of big picture categories will always overwhelm the frantic minutiae. Desperation to watch every play from All-22 and make one subjective evaluation after another is what leads to claims that Bill Lazor is the worst of all time and unfairly hindering Tannehill from his deserved greatness. Suckers galore fall for that type of thing because the presenter uses tape as a prop. It is nothing but a glorified prop.
cbrad on the other site is one of the few I've seen who has marvelous ability to check out one incredibly specific category after another, and provide tons of interesting findings from them, while realizing and often announcing that a handful of major variables are far more meaningful than all his complicated work.
