The read

Edgerrin grades about average among linebackers so far, with no number far from the middle.

Lately he is playing better. Tackles for loss per 100 snaps is 1.1 over the last 2 games (88 snaps), against 3.6 before that. A few plays could easily explain this. Worth watching, not worth believing yet.

Role is shrinking: When he plays he is on the field for about 7 of every 10 plays lately, down from nearly every play before.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 4 games are behind the season figures.

How he stacks up

Every graded stat at a glance, against all the linebackers in the league.

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying linebackers. Faded bars are still small samples.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among linebackers after each week, and every game behind it.

WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 1: 39th percentileWeek 2: 35th percentileWeek 3: 39th percentileWeek 4: 52nd percentile52nd

Season rank climbed: 39th to 52nd percentile since Wk 1.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 100 (the best) to 0 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

Lower is better for this stat. One game is a small sample: a single stat over 8 tackle chances can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every linebacker with at least 10 tackle chances. Right on the strip is better.

Missed tackles

Typical

6%lower is better

30th of 65 linebackers · top 47%

The share of his tackle chances he missed. Fewer is better.

The box score: Tackle totals reward the player who gets the most chances, not the one who finishes them.

Does it show up in winning? Across 212 games league-wide, a good or bad game on missed tackles from a linebacker has not lined up much with his team winning (53% wins in the best third, 47% in the worst).

How he plays

Tendencies: how his game differs from the linebackers around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.

Pressures per 100 snaps

Style

1.3

Rushes often, more than most linebackers. A typical one is 0.8.

How often he gets after the quarterback, for every 100 snaps. For a linebacker it describes his job more than his quality, so it is shown, not graded.

Small sample: could move a lot · 227 snaps

Playing time

He has played in 4 of his team's 4 games with snap counts, on the field for about 83% of the team's defensive plays when he plays.

Role is shrinking. When he plays he is on the field for about 7 of every 10 plays lately, down from nearly every play before.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's defensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level.

Players with a similar profile

The linebackers whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
