Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 835876">Based on this part II piece I have to partially agree.  I find it strange that in part I there was no mention of PUP or IR, only weekly injury reports.  Regardless, there is still a problem.To take one example, they mention Ross Cockrell in Part II figuring into the Panthers AGL data.  He started the season on IR after a serious training camp injury.  Other players who went on IR after the season started are also mentioned in Part II.  So far so good.However, as I noted earlier, they did not count some or all of the 7 Ravens players who started the season on PUP and IR otherwise the team AGL would be higher.  As noted, DeShon Elliott, a safety, spent the season on IR yet FO shows only 8.5 AGL for Raven's DBs.Part II suggests they count starters and "situational players" only, and you have to get well into Part II get a hint of that.  They changed their definition of "situational player" but so what it was or what it is.  FO has a habit of producing a barrage of data without being clear about what they are actually measuring and how they do it.  Did they assume Elliott would not be a situational player, and on what basis?  How relevant is a stat that counts 15 O-Linemen on one team as "starters"?</blockquote>
