We spent a couple recent Off the Charts podcasts digging into this stuff as well! Some tidbits: - Less predictable is better for edge rushers - Bull rush is the most common and least effective move - Blocking help from TE/slot is more effective than from the backfield

On the latest Off The Charts Football Podcast, our crew takes an EARLY look at the Heisman candidates for this year. Both the clear standouts and the sleeper picks Dante Moore of Oregon is one. Listen for the others: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

On the latest Off The Charts, our crew does a little Good Year/Bad Year examination on some of the NFL's most notable names. Guys like Drake Maye, Justin Jefferson, Brian Burns - Will their performances from 2025 carry over into 2026 @vigmanoncampus.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

The evidence isn't definitive, but public defensive metrics (in this case DRS and FRV) having more similar and detailed components does seem to be improving alignment on the value of players. That's happening even without strong alignment on the different component calculations themselves.

We get a lot of people who look at different numbers for Defensive Runs Saved and MLB's Fielding Run Value and then ask us "What's going on?" @vigmanoncampus.bsky.social studied this and found those instances still exist but have become fewer over time www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2026/06/04/s...

You’d normally expect the stats-based list to be measured and reasonable. But fear not, the nerds have TAEKZ!

🚨New Podcast🚨 One of our favorite series, how scouts view players compared to how the stats rate them👀 With Bryce Rossler and our CEO (and ex-NFL scout) Matt Manocherian on the Scouts side vs James Weaver and Alex Vigderman taking the Stats side💪 Listen now🔽 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

One of our goals for this year is to get more research out there, specifically with our injury data. In this case: Pitchers don't really show less pain when they're hit by a batted ball, but they're potentially justified in it because the coaching staff has a quick trigger for checking on them.

Sports Info Solutions@sportsinfosolutions.com · 3mo ago

We track injury data more comprehensively than just about anyone. And that allows us to look at injuries in a myriad of ways Here's one example from @vigmanoncampus.bsky.social - Do pitchers act more stoic than others when they're hit by a batted ball? www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2026/04/30/s...

Guess I know who I'm rooting for in Celebrity Jeopardy! The site also updates in a few ways during the draft. I love the Draft Matrix that lays out the distribution of talent at all positions according to our scouts. You can see here the remaining players we tabbed with strong starting grades.

As much as I am a stats guy and built much of the backbone of the analytics on this site, this is definitely my favorite part of our draft site. It gives you a texture for the player pool at a glance and gets us thinking more in terms of tiers than ranks.

This is what you get for expressing certainty, Liam! People poke holes! This was a pretty clear fourth down “go” situation, but I went into how or why you might disagree.

Sports Info Solutions@sportsinfosolutions.com · 11mo ago

Liam Coen had to answer for a particular fourth down play late in Sunday's loss to the Bengals We dissect the decision and what the probabilities were had he chosen differently @vigmanoncampus.bsky.social gets into the nuances of difficult choices www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2025/09/17/w...

Every year our Total Points player value system seems to decide on its "guy" that is rated surprisingly well. Bo Nix was its guy in 2024, ranking 6th in passing. Through W9, he was 31st in EPA and 3rd in Total Points. After W9, he was 2nd in EPA and 15th in Total Points. Weird year.

This past weekend we presented at Saberseminar in Chicago - a look at a decade's worth of data on called strikes - Which catchers get more than expected - Which teams develop catchers best? - How do pitchers/batters factor in? - What about umpires? READ: www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2025/08/28/l...

Fun news from our football group! We already had an Expected Points model, but it wasn't great at handling late-half (and especially late-game) situations. So we built a new one, which does a LOT better in those spots. Check out the writeup: www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2025/08/13/a...
