Here's an example of the kind of analysis we can do with RBWR and RSWR: Aaron Donald is average vs the run. I'll go toe to toe with the film guys on this one. He gets a lot of penetration but it's ineffective. https://twitter.com/SethWalder/status/1303351463737991169
For the doubters out there. 4 yards in the backfield. He wins his (B) gap, but makes everyone else's job harder. Plenty of examples like this, but this is one of the most glaring.
Ok. Fair enough. Here's a better example. Took me 2 plays into the game to find this. This is essentially what's happening. In RSWR, he's probably getting a 'win' here, but you can see it's not effective.
Guys, relax. Just trying to illustrate what happens when he's too far upfield. He's basically creating a draw play every time he does that.
