If 40% of the 53 man roster needs to be good/elite, wouldn't that call for a minimum of 10.6 (11) good or elite. If I ready this correctly it says the Bengals needed 8 more so they only had 3 considered good or elite. If so, in 2014 ML must have been doing a great job coaching a bunch of bad players and getting them to the playoffs.
Or I misread something which is possible.
The tricky thing with the article is they talk about how many 'Above Average' players a team is away. So we were 8 'Above Average' players away.
In their intro, they talked about needing 40% of your roster to be Elite or Good. Above average is a tier below them so they must have used a different formula to calculate it.
(If you click on the Bengals it breaks it down.)
We have 1 Elite Player in Whitworth. Then, 3 Good players in Green, Zeitler, and Iloka). Then 21 Average players. From that group of guys who performed Average...we needed to get higher levels of production from 8.
Green only finished with 1041 yards and 69 catches that year. It was also Atkins 1st season after an ACL injury.
