@tuescher Hi Chris... Please reach out to the guys at @ftndata. A new site is on the way...

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

We only added a "first read" data point this season, but it's something we looked at for few seasons now for this exact reason. If the QB has his first read wide open, he really has to throw off his back foot or get ragdolled by the defender before we consider charting a hurry.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Can't judge OL protection unless we account for and filter out those screen (GB leads the league with 14.5%) and lightning nonscreen (<1.5s TTP, PIT leads the league with 12.1%) passes.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

How do we split hair between just pressure, and a hurry? We look at four things: read (more on that in the next tweet); how well covered the target is; is there a body inbetween the pressuring player and passer; when did the throwing motion began.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

So what does this tell us? Broncos pass protection is not "as bad" (hey, only third worst), but they suffer by far most hurries, which is a heavy type of pressure. Joe Burrow is under pressure often, but is hurried less often that we would expect.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Facing red-hot Dalvin Cook in MNF, the Bears are the cream of the crop when it comes to tackling. Just 11.8% missed tackle/sack rate and 6.6% long-tackle rate. Only Broncos and Colts rank in top-10 in both metrics.

@jsrwrites Some oddities with league game reports this year have affected our schedule to a small degree. We remain committed to our delivery schedule despite the pandemic. Thanks for your patience James!

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Note that the first read are often not isolated to one player. The read can be left/right half/middle of the field with the route concepts designed to make sure there's a chance someone will be open.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Looking at throws from first read: Tom Brady is distributing the ball without relying on a single player, same can be said about Minshew, albeit the efficiency is different. Keenan Allen gets the ball 37% of the time when the QB targets his first read.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

@jsrwrites You are correct - at this time we don't archive the player table data on a week-to-week basis. There is nothing stopping you from doing this on your side of course.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

@PigskinAnalytic @Mtrubisky10 Not enough rushes to qualify here. Mitch has 3 rushes marked as pain-free plays on 8 attempts, so he would be below the QB average (54%).

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

So far, Kyler Murray has been amazing at racking rushing yards without getting hit. Big-time outlier on the other side is Carson Wentz, who's pain-free ratio is almost at the RB level.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

@jsrwrites So yes, similar to the Player table, Injuries are updated prior to games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday's.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Hi James.. the injury table represents the players that were listed on each team report prior to the game. We have updated the CSV and API for Week 7. Game ID's are not running in order this year due to all the scheduling changes.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

@jsrwrites The player table is updated 4-5 times per week and you can build a complete depth chart from there.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Tannehill's 1.8% of uncatchable physical balls is top-10 in the league, showing that when his receivers are forced to go through contact when the ball arrives, they actually have a shot at making the catch.

[ArmchairAnalysis.com @armchairfb]

Last season's leaders in throwing contested passes were Matthew Stafford (9.7%) and Daniel Jones (9.4%). So far in 2020, Ryan Tannehill leads the league with 10.3%.
