Passing on Ugoh?

It really should say Passing With Ugoh, but that doesn’t make as much sense nor it is as pithy

Still, zero sacks over two games against a team that recorded 32 in their other 14 is a good sign. In those two games Peyton Manning completed 74% of his passes for 7.14 yards per attempt. The Titans other 14 opponents averaged 65.8% completion and 6.80 yards per attempt. With Peyton Manning at QB the Colts passing game completed 68.0% of it’s passes for 7.87 yards per attempt in their remaining games.

Completion percent up 10% with YPA down a yard is a pretty dramatic effect (though not necessarily a negative one), but it’s far more likely due to the Titans Cover-2 scheme than who was playing LT. The stats to note would be the Colts burning the Titans pass D significantly worse than most did. At least against a bottom feeding pass D, Tony Ugoh protecting the blindside didn’t prevent the Colts from passing the ball very effectively.
