On this episode of The Football Analytics Show, I talk with Ben Baldwin, an economics Ph.D. who covers the Seattle Seahawks for The Athletic.
Among other topics, we discuss:
- whether running the ball sets up play action passing in the NFL (3:49)
- what analytics thinks of Seahawks safety Earl Thomas (13:00)
- whether to use yards per carry or success rate to evaluate running backs
- the NFL team to fade the remainder of the season (21:25)
- the one reason Ben wants to have dinner with Bill Belichick (26:07)
I look forward to the day when every NFL team has someone like Ben covering the analytics perspective. Follow him on Twitter here.
