First season
Offense, 2026: neutral pass rate 55% (23rd percentile). No-huddle share: 33rd percentile.
Defense, 2025: blitz rate 28% (54th percentile). Man coverage: 93rd 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.
