Football is a team sport. On both offense and defense, much of your job is dependent on the 10 other guys around you. The quarterback needs his offensive line to block and his receivers to catch the ball. A corner needs his defensive line to generate pressure so they aren’t forced to cover for 10 seconds.
There are, however, a few moments where individuals are given the chance to shine and make plays on their own. So recently I started to wonder what would be a good way to track the individual plays that are being made on the defensive side of the ball.
