State of football analytics: how it's used, are the nerds ruining the game, etc. 2. What's Expected Points Added (EPA), and why is it good/bad 3. How do we evaluate players statistically using EPA If any of those are interesting, check the episode out!

Some tidbits: - Less predictable is better for edge rushers - Bull rush is the most common and least effective move - Blocking help from TE/slot is more effective than from the backfield [contains quote post or other embedded content]21 Jul 2026 16:48 +0000at://did:plc:2b2ynfd5hksd7bql5supuwkd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6b7scbzs22https://bsky.app/profile/vigmanoncampus.bsky.social/post/3mni5jml72c24The evidence isn't definitive, but public defensive metrics (in this case DRS and FRV) having more similar and detailed components does seem to be improving alignment on the value of players. That's happening even without strong alignment on the different component calculations themselves.

But fear not, the nerds have TAEKZ!

In this case: Pitchers don't really show less pain when they're hit by a batted ball, but they're potentially justified in it because the coaching staff has a quick trigger for checking on them.

The site also updates in a few ways during the draft. I love the Draft Matrix that lays out the distribution of talent at all positions according to our scouts. You can see here the remaining players we tabbed with strong starting grades.

It gives you a texture for the player pool at a glance and gets us thinking more in terms of tiers than ranks.

People poke holes! This was a pretty clear fourth down “go” situation, but I went into how or why you might disagree.

Bo Nix was its guy in 2024, ranking 6th in passing. Through W9, he was 31st in EPA and 3rd in Total Points. After W9, he was 2nd in EPA and 15th in Total Points. Weird year.

We already had an Expected Points model, but it wasn't great at handling late-half (and especially late-game) situations. So we built a new one, which does a LOT better in those spots.
