ESPN Analytics
ESPN Analytics created revolutionary new
metrics to measure performance in the trenches -- in both the run and pass game
-- using player tracking data from NFL Next Gen Stats.
Our pass rush win
rate metric tells us how often a pass-rusher is able to beat his block within
2.5 seconds. Likewise, our pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen
can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer.
In run stop win
rate, a defender can earn a win by doing any of the following: beating his
blocker so he's in better position to stop the runner; disrupting the pocket or
running lane by pushing his blocker backwards; containing the runner such that
he must adjust his running lane; or recording a tackle within three yards of
the line of scrimmage. If a defender earns a run stop win, his blocker earns a
loss, and vice versa.
