Wouldn't this graph have been more interesting if the vertical axis was average yards allowed on third down? What does EPA add to this equation?
EPA is like taking the integral of an integral; it flattens everything. There's a 1/2-point difference from the top of the graph to the bottom.

Murray doesn't look good on the chart. Even worse than Dobbs.

A big Wow for k'von Wallace's play in coverage

Does that mean Woods was way better in pass coverage than White? Big oof for Hicks.

I’d like to see a chart of nothing but centers. Centers blocking. Centers holding. Centers making sandwiches.

That would suffice.
Before the Steeler game I was this close to posting a thread devoted solely to Murray’s outfits, then decided nah, that’s stupid. One of my all time fails.
What about centers cutting blocks of cheese for the sandwiches that they are holding?
Maybe not; if the average distance to go on 3rd down is 7.5 yards, and you allow 7 yards, that's good! if average distance to go on 3rd down is 6.5 yards, and you allow 7 yards, that's bad! EPA captures that distinction better than raw yards.

Does it? How is EPA determined?

I’m down with that. As long as it can be graphed and named something nebulous.
Pretty good explanation here.
In the context of 3rd down defense, giving up yardage for a first down allows the offense to continue its drive, resulting in a bigger increase in expected points for the offense.

Rhubarb EPA Chart.

It’s so abstracted tho. I’d much rather see it measured against success rate or something that has more range. The human mind can’t really grok the difference between .05 EPA and .07 EPA but when graphed like this and without interrogating the scale lines it looks like differences are more/less dramatic than they are.
I’m also extremely wary of small sample sizes and I wish they’d append the N for each version.
Ooooo...which center are ya holding Cheesey??
Frodo...it's Frodo isn't it...we all saw LotR...everyone wanted to hold Frodo...
