OL Play by Play: Charting from Houston Game

OK, so, before we go on.. This is from a blogger at Canal Street Chronicles, NOT a professional so obviously take it with a grain of salt. Still, it's nice to see this in metric form.

---

On any given play a lineman will WIN by moving his opponent off their spot or knocking them to the ground, STALL by holding up and neither giving nor gaining ground (nor getting bodied themselves), or LOSE by failing to complete his responsibilities on the play.

I then take that raw data to find the key stat I use to measure offensive line play: success rate. By combining wins with stalls (which are valued slightly less than wins) and dividing them by the total number of snaps played, I can get an idea of how often a lineman was helping the offense. Stalls go in favor of the offense over the defense because they don’t hurt play execution.

There is a full write-up in the link. Looks pretty solid. To sum it up:

-Armstead is dominant.

-Lelito is really bad and can't be counted on.

-Peat is bad at LT, but played mostly sound when at RG. Should probably be placed there only moving forward.

-Landon Turner flipped and looked really good
