Because he’s better. Duh.

What is "difficult " carries exactly?

What is "difficult " carries exactly?

The source is Next Gen Stats that tracks and metrics is explained at the bottom of the graph.

Basically expected yards is determined by where the ball carrier gets the ball and where the defenders are positioned at that time.

I'm assuming defenses play a bit softer to protect the pass when Zeke is in because they don't fear him breaking a long one.

Defenses must respect the run more when Pollard is in.

My dad could beat up your dad and I can find the metrics to prove it.

I bet Pollard is better at Pin the tail on the donkey. Oh, I forgot about Parsons.

Thanks for for that.

We honestly have the dumbest fan base.

"Yards over expected created using positioning of ballcarrier and offensive and defensive players at the time of the handoff"

This is what happens when we let nerds into the sport

Pollard is as good at getting yards as any guy in league currently. Only way to know if he could bell cow is to run him.

Exactly what I would like to know… These deep dive stairs are really funny to me. Paralysis by analysis.

I like Tony Pollard, I think he's a very capable and dangerous back. No he's not the guy that's going to carry it 25 to 30 times a game, nor is the physical enough in past protection. But there's no denying he is a very dangerous weapon to have. "Speed in space wins the race" every running back needs room to run, but not every back provides the electricity and big play capability as Tony Pollard.

As for as the degree of difficulty when toting the rock, that depends on if the block was made or not. Not a good day for any running back when the O-line gets beat.

Yeah, where defenders are at the time of the handoff should not affect the run at all

Thanks for your feedback, Booger.

Ok, here's a handoff

Now explain to me without sounding like a pencil neck who never played the game how you quantify the "difficulty" of the carry and expected yardage. Good luck because the team who invented the stat had no exposure to football their damn selves.

Thanks for your feedback, Booger.

That's Mr. Jones, to you.

Get G out here with that Bull chit lie

tony P avgs 6.0 EE avgs 4.0 , which says pollard is better and is breaking more runs for long gains.
Dont need a chart like that to see that.

The Zeke is better people are honestly as dumb as flat Earthers at this point. Just oblivious to reality.
