Cowboys cover guy Trevon Diggs gets all the hype, but the Eagles have the top player in an ANYA/CS ranking of the NFL’s top cornerbacks through four weeks via @KDDrummondNFL
The NFC East is home to the NFL’s top-ranked cornerback, but based on some advanced metrics and analytics, that player doesn’t currently reside in the Dallas, Forth Worth metro area.
KD Drummond is a podcaster, writer, and managing editor of The Cowboys Wire, and he recently revealed a new formula that helps better evaluate NFL cornerback play.
Hoping to quantify cornerback performances better after Trevon Diggs was ridiculed for allowing chunks of yardage last season, Drummond developed a metric that rates the adjusted net yards allowed per coverage snap.
Adjust Net Yards per Attempt, or ANY/A, is an advanced metric formula that translates touchdowns and interceptions thrown into yardage equivalents and has a ridiculously good correlation to victory. What we did was translate the formula to coverage to better qualify how corners were playing on a per-coverage-snap basis.
The ANYA/CS metric = ((Passing Yards Allowed-Return Yardage) + (Passing TDs Allowed – Return TDs)*20 – (INTs)*45)) / (Coverage Snaps).
Statistics Used:
Pro Football Focus: Coverage Snaps
Pro Football Reference: Interceptions, Targets, Yards Allowed, Touchdowns Allowed, Return Yards, Return TDs
Using this formula, Philadelphia had three players land in the top 12, two in the top five, and James Bradberry as the No. 1 cornerback on the list through four weeks of action.
Philadelphia Eagles land the nation’s top pass rusher in Draft Wire’s latest 2023 two-round NFL mock
The Eagles are 4-0 and thinking about a deep playoff run, but it’s never too early to look ahead to 2023.
Draft Wire unveiled their latest two-round mock projection for next April, and Philadelphia restocks on both sides of the football with three of the SEC’s most dynamic playmakers.
With their two first-round picks, Howie Roseman addressed two needs and further upgraded an already talented defensive unit.
In the second round, the Birds add to an already talented running back room, adding a dual threat from Ole Miss.
The Philadelphia Eagles sit atop the throne as the No. 1 team in the Week 5 NFL Power Rankings
The Eagles are headed out West for an exciting NFC matchup against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.
The matchup will feature two dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks, and it’ll be the second time Hurts and Murray have matched up since the 2020 season.
With Week 4 of the regular season in the rear view mirror, experts from around the league have revealed their power rankings, and Philadelphia is the top team in every ranking except two.
The experts have spoken, and most analysts are picking the Minnesota Vikings over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 on Monday Night Football
The Eagles are coming off a season opener in which they picked up 27 first downs and logged 455 yards, but they’re the underdogs in some circles, thanks to a shoddy defensive effort.
Monday night football on ESPN offers a matchup of two undefeated teams and two explosive offenses for Week 2, with plenty of intriguing storylines.
The Minnesota defense was outstanding last week against the Packers.
Still, they’ll be facing a Philadelphia offense looking to push the downfield in the passing game while relying on a punishing rushing attack if things fall apart.
With kickoff quickly approaching, the experts have made their picks.
