Something I've been thinking about is how DeRuyter and Co might try to limit explosive plays, those really plagued the defense at times last year, will it be scheme? Personnel? Creating more havoc? I think there's something to be said for simply replacing below average cover guys (Pearson/Muddy) with plus coverage guys (Owens/Baskerville). It was frustrating for a defense to put an offense in a bad spots, only to not create turnovers and allow explosive plays.
Explosiveness measures the average EPA on plays which were marked as successful. It uses this site's EPA implementation (known as PPA).
Expected Points Added (EPA) uses Expected Points to measure the outcome of a play. It takes the EP value from the beginning of a play (e.g. 2nd and 5 at the 50) and subtracts it from the EP value resulting from the play (e.g. rush for 10 yards results in 1st and 10 from the 40).
