So, now you know more than Nextgen Football? So, now you know more than fivethirtyeight? https://www.google.com/amp/s/fivethirtyeight.com/features/our-new-metric-shows-how-good-nfl-receivers-are-at-creating-separation/amp/

So, now you know more than the entire NFL who puts GPS trackers on players in practice and on game day to track these exact same things?

Now I see where you're coming from... Some, Fingers In Your Ears La La Land mixed in with some lofty arrogance. The self esteem you have is incredible, and that's coming from me, who's been at 10 on the self esteem scale since I was 4. Thanks, mom.

You can directly correlate the fivethirtyeight article about SOE & NextGen. It isn't hard or some super mystery. The Bengals have NO ONE ON THE ROSTER who can take the top off of a defense. John Ross was their best hope (2.9 SEP, btw), but all he could do was run.

There is more to being a great WR than SEP/SOE, of course. No one ever said there isn't.  Or even that it's most important. It's just one stat/metric, but it can help illustrate what the Bengals are maybe missing in terms of skill set from what's on the roster. I'm sorry, but the Bengals 2 best guys are below the best guys from the rest of the league by a fair amount. In an offense designed for quick short & medium strikes with YAC tacked on, this isn't good.

Which adds another wrinkle.... SCHEME. How is ZT's scheme at breaking guys free? LSU seemed to be able to do it just fine and the Bengals have brought elements if that in. I would love to see differences between LSU based stuff & ZT stuff to compare and contrast.
