The Visual Display of Quantitative Information


I've discussed the system I generated for grading defensive players on this blog before. Basically I calculated how likely a play is to force the offense to get off the field and then assigned points accordingly. Well I just put together a chart of the top 12 defensive players according to that system. The chart shows very clearly who had big games and how a player is progressing from game to game. Bottom line, Michael Johnson and Morgan Burnett are studs, but I guess we didn't need a chart to tell us that.
