We told you guys all about the NFL Next Gen Stats when Zebra Technologies, the team behind the analytic, met with Josh Sunderbruch a few weeks ago. Josh was their guest at the Chicago Bears vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game and he shared with his thoughts on what he learned in a WCG-exclusive two-parter here and here. The Next Gen stuff isn’t “grades,” so there is no human element in their analysis. They just take data they collect and share it with us football fans.
One of their latest metrics is the Pass Block Win Rate (PBWR) that measures when an offensive lineman holds a pass rusher off for more than 2.
