Abstract

The book primarily provides a robust analysis of passing games, while focusing on player match-ups that dictated the outcome of all passing plays. Specifically, focused on breaking down the field into 3 different depth zones (short, medium, and deep) and then analyze the receivers' and defensive backs' comparative success in each of those metrics. For receivers, stats include such things as completion percentage in each zone, how open they were, how many passes they dropped, and the yards per attempt in each zone. For defensive backs, he studied the same information from the opposite vantage point. The book also includes analysis of QB's, pass protection of the offensive line and the pass rush of the defense.
