What scheme and player trends we think will translate over the rest of the season as we finish our Sunday night stream after week one.

That's what we're talking about on this edition of stealing Bidiana shorts.

I'm Ben Gretch.

You can find my newsletter at Ben Gretch.substack.com with me as always,

is Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his great work over at Rodeviz.

Let's jump back into part two of the discussion.

A couple macro points that I do want to bring to the discussion, as we're talking

through some of these offenses that didn't do a lot.

Our guy, Pat Thorman, who you and I have both been buddies with and played in a lot of leagues

with for years, works over at ETN and tracks the snaps and pace stuff at a really high

level.

He said games last year averaged 126.2 combined offensive snaps.

That's about 63 plays per game.

That's from my projections I can tell you that that was, you know, that's the league

average, sorry, for each offense, 126, 63 for each offense.

And it's not common when you think about like what's actually high and low volume to be more than like two or three higher or lower. Typically even just one play per game lower, kind of a lot of plates. Like it starts to mean something. When you talk about over the course of the season. Over the course of a season of 17 games, one play per game is going to cost you, you know, a decent number of. if you go two plays per game, you basically just lost half a game, right? That's 34 plays. That's because the typical teams in the 60s for total play volume, right? So you lost a whole half a game because you were two plays per game under the average. The teams that get really low go under 60 plays per game. That's like where Seattle was a couple years ago and everyone's like they're so slow.

But that's like four plays per game under.

Just trying to set that stage.

He said today featured snap totals of and he listed them all.

Every one of these games was under 120 combined snap.

So under 60 on average.
