Offense, 2026: neutral pass rate 69% (98th percentile). No-huddle share: 42nd percentile.
Defense, 2025: blitz rate 27% (41st percentile). Man coverage: 6th percentile.
Tempo and blitz aggression travel with the coordinator. Pass tilt belongs to the head coach and the quarterback, and coverage belongs to the roster. A coordinator change modestly raises secondary turnover, about six points.
