Estimate maybe 5 yard loss?It's definitely something I considered. I've always been a stats guy in the sense of i know stats off my brain but never an analytics guy so this is my first foray into the realm.
I was working off the site index and not the sim file so I'd have to look if it tracks accumulative lost yards on sacks but the reasoning I didn't want to factor it in was to not weigh the sacks side of things to unbalanced. Guys like Gingsberg would shoot down the list so I thought examining yards potentially stopped would be a somewhat balanced approach.
