This is the most interesting video I've seen in a long time. First half of the video I felt like HAHA FUCK YOU PFF... but then you gave PFF's perspective (and the grades response) and I put my pitchfork away. You could have easy slammed one side or the other just to make an overly sensationalist video, but you didn't. You kept it right where it should be. In the gray area. Stats are just stats. There are so many variables that go into this shit. Lastly, I'd like to point out how, as always, you explain things to where EVERYONE can understand. Even people who don't know shit about X's and O's. The ability to do that is a gift in itself. Not only do you explain WHAT happened, which is what most people seem to do in these breakdowns, but you also explain WHY it happened. The WHY is huge in fully understanding anything, really, so I thought I'd point it out. Other content providers overlook that. Another great video from you.

[@tylersimmons6524]

As someone with a little inside knowledge, there are some things that PFF grades and stats are amazing for and some things where they are a little less intuitive. The adversarial grades (wr/db in man, ol/dl pass pro, running grade, defender making 'stops') can be excellent and enlightening. Things get a little more squishy when it comes to zone coverages, run defense when you don't make a stop. They are still informative but maybe not indicative of what you might think. What I would say is, if PFF data isn't beneficial, teams wouldn't buy it. So there is definitely value. The grades may not be perfect, but they offer insight over box score stats, and they are given out by people who are knowledgeable about the game of football, like you.

[@aStryker97]

Election being called and a new Brett video... what a Saturday

[@crankedgain]

PFF is 100% wrong for asserting that a defender needs to be "blamed" for every reception. "We have to assign it to someone" Why? are you not capable of typing the coaches name or the defensive coordinator's name? Maybe don't build your entire stat tracking system around the idea that people are responsible for things that you know they aren't actually responsible for. This would be akin to the MLB assigning an error to a player when the coach moves them into a position where they have no play on a ball that gets hit where they theoretically could have been. What a goofy concept and one that statisticians should have the sense to realize is problematic and likely to rightfully frustrate players.

[@ryanstang6556]

Pff’s explanation seems like horse shit to me. If they can acknowledge that a defender had no other option well enough to not grade him, then they can just not count that stat as giving up a catch. The fact that they are aware of these plays and have a Mantra that says “we have to attribute this stat to him” is worse than them just being wrong. They are actively just saying “we know it’s not this players fault but we will still give him a negative stat” is crazy. Pff has already made up stats like big time throws and turn over worthy play so why not just invent a stat that shows a play was designed where nobody is to blame on the defense. Why do they have this belief that every catch has to be a defenders fault?

[@LanceUppercut]

GREAT analysis. This is what people need to bring when they disagree with "advanced stats" (as opposed to saying they're trash b/c they don't like the outcome. It'd be like saying "climate change isn't real, cuz... nuh uh!"). I'm a huge stat-head, but honestly I'd be okay if they didn't assign numerical blame if there wasn't any (just note that totals on a team's defense wouldn't match the offensive production, etc). That, or go further & have splits/categories for catches/yards/etc, like you did.

Tyrann loses a rep here or there (like any player, yeah.. even the DPOY Gilmore had catches allowed last year) but he makes a handful of PDs, INTs, great run stops, and shutdowns for each lost rep. Really, really, well done.

Love the shirt. Wasp: Any down and distance, doesn't matter. It sounds like the takeaway from this analysis is that raw "catches" isn't a very good way to compare defensive players. The grades seem to have the proper rigor going into determining whether a guy completed his assignment or not, or even went above his assignment. The "catch" metric has too much random attribution to it.
