when is the updated passing and rushing ease of schedule coming out?

I think a great addition to this report would be total offense and defense EOS with turnover stats. Also someone needs to do a preseason offensive line ranking report! It all starts with the big guys up front!

I have been a huddle member for 3 years and I have always found the ease of schedule charts very useful. I commend David on his work, and I really like the change you made this year to only include rushing yardage for running backs. However, I wonder if the change you made to add home or away splits improves the table or makes it less useful. I can't help but think that dividing home and away games makes them less useful because it halves the sample size for each matchup (each matchup is now based on 8 games instead of 16). And I don't really see how some of this makes intuitive sense. Are the Saints actually better against the run when they are on the road than when they are at home? I guess they were last year, when you look at the 8 games on the road versus the 8 games at home, but with such a small sample size, and with no reasonable explanation, it makes me think this is just a statistical anomaly and has no predictive weight.

Dave, can you post the rest of 2007 fantasy points allowed per game for the middle 32 matchups that were not in the top 16 or bottom 16. That way, we can combine the numbers for each team if we want, or separate them as you did.

I also would love the raw data for each team (i.e. how many fantasy points they gave up each week of the 2007 to each position). Is that accessible anywhere on thehuddle.com?

Keep up the good work!

LIke the chart buts its useless for the draft. Cant print directly and unless you have a color printer. The colors [beep] . Use different colors - shades of gray best for us laser printer guys... :)

Dave, You sound like a woman and must drive your league CRAZY. If you cant read the chart (and there are many) ask your wives.

For those of us guys who are color blind (and there are many) can you switch the colors to something other than red/green? Maybe b lue yellow or some other contrasting color? Just a suggestion.

Thanks!

There is nothing to update. It is created based upon the performances of teams last year - weighted and diced up as I mentioned in the article. I will come out with a new EOS about week 3 or 4 of the season when we have data to use from 2008, but there is nothing to update until the teams play this year.

Please update!!!! It would help alot..This is to old, but it is (very) helpful.$.

DMD...I can help you reduce the hours coloring the cells (if its in a spreadsheet which I think it must be). I am a spreadsheet guru...

will there be any updating to the ease of schedule for the pass and rush before the season starts

Yeah, nothing like taking an hour or two coloring in table cells. But it does present itself nicer in a graphical way to see the strings of green or red.

DMD - Glad to see you brought back the full color-coded schedule grid for all 32 teams!
