*A look at stat priorities for Defensive Linemen.

[Lendoris]

Hello again.

It's been a while since I've last done one of these. I've decided to take a look at defensive linemen again. For this, I've kept the initial season 1 data and then added the season 2 data as well to get more data for my correlated attributes to stats.


I would like to note that I did normalize player values that did not play 14 games. I threw out a few players that obviously didn't start for the games they "played" as to not screw up the data.

Anyways, here we go!


S2 Player stats:



S2 Player Attributes:




New tackling coefficients.



Note that this is combining all of the data from season 1 and season 2.

New Tackle for loss coefficients.



New Forced Fumble coefficients.



New Sack coefficients.




Updated archetype analysis breakdown:



For this I'm only looking at the max of the attributes and only using significant and positively correlated attributes to calculate the aggregate scores below:






And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for..... Did the DT rework actually balance the archetypes?



Looks like it.

Nose tackle looks a little bit worse on here, however I believe that since it is the heaviest archetype, it actually gets a slight boost to it's final ranking. Also, since it has a niche roll compared to the other defensive tackles, it seems fine to me.

I think that if any of the archetypes had fallen below 95% then it might be cause for concern. I'm definitely pleased.


Anyways, this has less analysis than the last time I posted all of this information so please feel free to ask me any questions.


Cheers
