2063 - Defensive Plays Above Average

[RonCo]

All right, then, here are the numbers as of the first week. Given sample sizes, they are, of course silly to make any assessments of. However, with all the movement going on this year, I wanted to get a jump on things to make sure that I've properly adjusted the scripts for all our new team names and whatnot.

So, here they are:

Interesting number is, of course, the idea that the span between best and worst is about 110 plays.

Only way to get a hit against Jerusalem: hit line drives in the gaps

Thanks for sharing, Ron. Super valuable and interesting.

Oof. You can tell this isn't my team yet.

There goes that strategy.

That chart alone might tell you all you need to know how Blair Peyton is the best player in the league.
