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.

metrics and run-game
metrics. Check out the 2021
