No, thank you! I use the site a lot but after taking the survey it introduced me to options that I didn't even know existed and will be using now for sure!

I couldn't remember one suggestion for the survey which I just remembered... in Team Scout > Show Defensive Report there should be a column showing whether the defensive play is a man or zone (M/Z column)

Added Blitz and Man/Zone indicators.

That's great! The only problem is that it's listing every defensive play as Man.

Rolled over to season 58

Suggestion: Have an Adjusted Yard per Carry (aYPC) column for Rushing plays. Maybe like the YPA/YPC passing column?

Calculate the aYPC by subtracting the longest carry from the total yards then average it.

Example
Play: HB Pitch Strong
Times: 21
Long: 94
YPC: 6.8
aYPC: 21 * 6.8 = 142.8 - 94 = 48.8 / 20 = 2.4

One long run (94 yards) can really throw off the YPC (6.8). By subtracting it you'll have a more accurate gauge (2.4 aYPC) as to how good the play really is.

If you want to do that and your point is quite valid you may want to show the median run. That way it's less vulnerable to be dependant on how many times the play was run.

Yeah, if you want to throw out the highest, you should also throw out the lowest. william78 is correct that median would be better than average.

True. But, I don't think the lowest number is that important because it would be from 0 to -5 yards, maybe? Not as much impact on YPC like massive positive yardage is. Plus, then you're throwing out results from two runs when, many times, you have very few rushes to begin with.

I would argue the Average obviously can be skewed but taking out the largest, still skews it if you have a 94 and then a 93 run.

Median is still up for skewed results but is more of an accurate value of percentage basis of what is more likely to happen essentially.

Now ideally, would be cool if there was a heat map of yards gained to essentially show this visually rather than a direct number, but I feel like Median is a better representation than Average.

But keep in mind guys, early in the season all results are skewed AF and there isn't much we can do about it until more data comes in anyway.

I am open to suggestions, but as I see it, Median seems to make the most sense imo.
