Offensive/Defensive Line Performance Ratings!
The game "in the trenches" often determines the outcome, and yet until now, grades for actual performance of the OL and DL units have not been available. Our *new* line ratings can be produced game-by-game for each team to really get to the bottom of line play.
|
The scale for these preliminary ratings goes from roughly 4.0 to 8.0 (although theoretically a team could be beyond these limits), with a higher number being better on offense, a lower number being better on defense.
