2014 Defensive Pass Identity Data
Yesterday, we looked at offensive Pass Identity grades. Today, we are going to use the same process to analyze the data for defenses. Yesterday’s post is required reading to understand how Pass Identity grades are calculated, but here’s one update. While we can use the same numbers for Game Script (including the 3.27 number for standard deviation and 0 for average), that’s not the case for defensive Pass Ratio. There, while the average is roughly the same at 58.29%, the standard deviation is much smaller at 2.84% (it was 4.66% for the offenses).
