Bears Ben Johnson coach reveals an off -season plan for QB Caleb Williams

In Detroit, Johnson coordinated one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. In the past two seasons, the Lions have led the league in medium points (30.1) and Yards (402.2) per game. In 2024, Detroit scored 68 affected at the top of the NFL and ranked second with a 409.5 yards franchise record per game.

Last season, Johnson learned the importance of the expected points added (EPA), a metric that measures how much each game has an impact on the probability of scoring points. Games are quantified by factors that include decrease, distance and position on the ground.

“The EPA in passing passes is really one of the most critical factors to determine the victories and losses at the moment,” said Johnson. “It has probably changed in the past five years about the past five. I would have said five years ago, reversals, take -out dishes, it was n ° 1. From what I understand now, the EPA for the game of passes has now exceeded this. Whatever the team that has the highest EPA passes at the end of the match, they generally save this game on 80% of the time.

“This is a huge statistical. This is where we look: how can we help inflate this number? Percentage of higher completion, more execution after the capture opportunities. This does not mean that we are not going to take our photos on the ground and look for large explosive pieces, pieces or touchdown in this way. There are a lot of ways of doing this.”
