That’s interesting, I was thinking maybe DVOA would be higher due to TD’s allowed and interceptions, but from what I can see, Philly is average in those areas. So, something there might be something wrong with what I’ve got…although even Chase’s unadjusted numbers have Philly’s pass defense as being #26. I put DVOA defense pass rankings up against “my” NY/A rankings, the correlation is positive, but not as much as I would think…0.64. And yep, the biggest difference between the two rankings is with the Eagles…

Chase – you’ve probably got a bunch of other stuff going on, but does this make sense to you? I know DVOA and NY/A wouldn’t ever be in perfect correlation, but this seems like a huge difference. Both “systems” rank Denver as #1 and Minnesota as #2…how can those be right on and Philly be 28 “rank numbers” off? Interesting…

Re. PHI’s defense – they still rank 3rd in Pass (def) DVOA, they’ve just faced a pretty strong passing schedule (overall offensive schedule ranked hardest by FO, as well).
