This is awesome Ian!

I’m curious how you are getting the data. Does the nfl have an api with public endpoints?

Unfortunately, no. I log every play during the game for the stats database, which I go back and audit on Monday. Then I take that same spreadsheet and view every play when it comes out on the All-22, and then visually log every player who was in on each play on both offense and defense (and special teams), and add that into it.

Altered Tonga's (and anyone else moving forward that sees snaps on both offense/defense) page to show snaps with each unit:

Holy smokes — Impressive work!!!!

LOL, thanks. It's tough, not going to lie. About 3-4 hours every week is what it takes. But obviously, having the data is certainly nice, and it's been interesting going through it each week after it's done.

Wow Ian! Super value add!

Updated through Week 11 @Mike the Brit

Forgot to bump this. @Mike the Brit

This was updated, and the reason it was so delayed this week was that Bryce Baringer came out to hold the ball on one of the Patriots' kickoffs. Even though he immediately ran off, that counted as a snap.

That threw me off because I didn't account for a situation that would ever require 12 players. So I had to backtrack and adjust everything to work with that. But it is updated.

Wow! That's like being one of the guys who used to sculpt the figures on the top of cathedrals. What a work ethic! Thanks, @Ian !

 

[Ian]

Was checking this for any changes and it looks like the league removed Baringer's additional snap from that kickoff hold last Sunday ... so that's cool.

It was:

Now:


The snaps page now reflects this change.

Can you hide the risers and fallers data? It's meaningless without context to me. Same goes for the stats widget? RE: pf_stats_widget?

Just trying to create some awareness for those pages, given how little they're viewed/used. The snaps one will hopefully become a little more interesting when guys aren't going down with injuries mid-game. It is set up to ignore guys who were on the inactive list the previous week to prevent obvious spikes up/down, and hopefully highlight guys who are instead seeing more/less playing time.

@Mike the Brit

This week was frustrating - for some odd reason, there was no footage post-Stevenson's touchdown on the All-22. I had to re-watch the end of the broadcast and pull the remainder from there, but it's finally done, and it - thankfully - matched the league's totals.

Also, there's a new stats page I mentioned that has been upgraded, where you can now do your own comparisons and see the numbers based on who is/isn't on the field. So, in addition to the main screen where you can see totals, you can now also click the "Compare" button, and it will show you a chart with the results with/without those players, and you can click on each tab to view the results with the passing, receiving, and rushing totals:

QB attempts were wrong on the "Compare" blocks for QBs on this page. It was pulling the snap counts for the attempts. It's been fixed.

 

[Ian]

Fixed another glitch where the quarterback wasn't being applied in the comparison table.

Quick bump - finally solved a discrepancy and got last week's in and modified it so you can toggle between the season/postseason, which I clearly hadn't thought about when I first did it, and didn't have it set up to delineate between the two. @Mike the Brit
