Los Steelers dejan el mayor % separación a sus rivales de toda la liga y por ende 5.6 TYPD, es cierto que en su defensa zonal dejan un "cushion" enorme a sus rivales de salida y que están instaurando la defensa zonal de Graham, pero parece que no están ejecutando muy bien

EPA/Pass is really the only stat that likes them. DVOA and the CEI tell you what you are seeing is true, even though it is doing well on a down-to-down basis when you factor in the pass rush.

Gracias como siempre Cody, has tenido en cuenta las 8 jornadas ¿verdad? la jornada contra Cleveland mejora estas medias

Yes, this is heading into Week 9. Next week, I will have Early Downs & 3rd Down separate. So that gives you 3 splits. This doesn't equate to the opponent; it's just execution of the scheme.

This is awesome! One question for you, did any sort of 1st down allowed metric (raw or rate stat) get considered for this exercise? It looks like this methodology would reward teams that place a cap and play match zones and contextualizing that versus “important receptions allowed” would be interesting! Think this is super cool and wanted to know more about your methodology.

No this is just raw execution. I do want to see if I can come up for something on early downs. Working on some stuff for next week. I can only cut the data so many ways & I'm trying not to go down the rabbit hole, but I'll add stuff as I go so the year-end download is loaded with things you can come back to.
