Offensive line play is one of the most difficult things to judge because it is so dependent on other factors.
Pressure rate and sack rate are closely tied to quarterback play, yards before contact is tied to ball carrier vision, and the list goes on.
The good news is we now have better metrics to isolate offensive line play. The most notable of those is ESPN’s pass block win rate and run block win rate.
Let’s look at where all 32 NFL teams rank in pass block win rate and run block win rate and how that relates to other offensive line metrics.
What is pass block win rate?
Pass block win rate is a metric created by ESPN that records how often an offensive lineman sustains his block for 2.5 seconds or longer.
What is run block win rate?
Run block win rate is a metric created by ESPN that records how often a run blocker beats his assignment in the running game.
Let’s look at offensive line pass block and run block win rate rankings heading into Week 2.
