Oh no

Ben Baldwin @rbsdm.com · 19h

Agree but unfortunately don't think it's possible to pull from PFF

Intentional implies having any control over what the borders of ggplot are doing and I would never

Ben Baldwin @rbsdm.com · 21h

This is my assumption

How costly bad 4th down decisions have been for each team

Which team go for it when they should?

It's enlightened Pete Carroll!

RB rushing yards over expected versus team run blocking

Rico!

PFF grades from this week alone

It is possible that the Cowboys cannot stop the run

Ben Baldwin @rbsdm.com · 22h

Pass block grades of offensive linemen in True Pass Sets only (excludes plays with less than 4 rushers, play action, screens, short dropbacks and time-to-throws under 2 seconds)

The Patriots being on top here given what happened last season is pretty astounding

All trench measures from PFF and ESPN

Pass protection as measured by two independent sources

Series conversion rates on offense and defense

Ben Baldwin @rbsdm.com · 22h

The rate at which each offense takes a 1st & 10 and earns a new set of downs (or scores)

Breaking news: the Chiefs and Bills have good offenses (and Colts??)

Did the Seahawks upgrade from the worst to the best QB in the league over the offseason? Many are asking this question
