This week our operations staff announced its picks for the SIS All-Pro teams. These selections were based on a combination of a vote and our suite of advanced stats, most notably our player value stat Total Points.

Total Points, which assigns value based on everything that happens during a particular play, is good both for assessing the superstars (like Jaxon Smith Njigba above) but also for finding the under-the-radar standouts and those players that perhaps the AP awards missed. It’s easy to say Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua belonged on the first team but it’s harder to figure out which offensive linemen or defensive players were best.

There were three players who earned a first-team selection from us who were not recognized by AP: guard David Edwards (Bills), center Zach Frazier (Steelers), and linebacker Devin Bush (Browns). Here’s the writeup we did for each.

Guard: David Edwards, Bills

David Edwards earned the competitive second guard spot due to his reliability and impact. He was second among NFL guards in Total Points (40) and Total Points Above Average (13). His 1.5% blown block rate was tied-3rd among guards as he helped pave the way for the best rushing offense in the NFL this season.

Center: Zach Frazier, Steelers

Zach Frazier had a fantastic second season in his NFL career, ranking 1st in Total Points among centers with 43. He was balanced in both the pass and run game, finishing 2nd  in Pass Block Total Points and 1st in Run Block Total Points among centers. He also finished with an outstanding 1% total blown block rate which ranked 2nd among all centers (minimum 500 snaps).

Linebacker: Devin Bush, Browns

Devin Bush may not get the same love as some of the other Browns defenders, but he was excellent this season. His 57 Total Points and 28 Total Points Above Average were both 2nd-best among linebackers. He was one of only two linebackers to earn 35+ Pass Defense Total Points and 20+ Run Defense Total Points, along with Jack Campbell. Bush had a pair of pick-sixes this year, including a 97-yard return in the final week of the season.

Here is our All-Pro First Team.

Our R&D team spent a lot of time evaluating Total Points this week because of one thing in particular. Though Broncos quarterback Bo Nix doesn’t rate well in a lot of different ways in which we would analyze a quarterback, he’s the overall NFL leader in that stat.

Bryce Rossler addressed this in both an article and on The Off The Charts Football Podcast this week. Those who work in creating statistical models to evaluate players in any sport know that you’re always studying and making adjustments. The work is never done.

That’s true here too. In this case, what we found was two-pronged. For one thing, Nix does do something better than everyone else in the league: avoid sacks. A 3rd-and-10 via throwaway is better than getting sent to the turf and then facing a 3rd-and-18. The other was that a large portion of Nix’s pass attempts were short-yardage high floor plays that added up in value over time. There’s more to it than that, but that’s the gist. You can read the article to learn more.

Meanwhile, the work is far from done for the eight teams still alive this weekend. Off The Charts offered lots of things to watch for, from the deep ball attacks of the Texans and Patriots, to whether the 49ers and Bears will have anything left this week. Tune in to hear what our crew had to say.
