I took this year's schedule grid and substituted all team names with their rushing yards allowed last year (yds/gm). example: SD=84.3. I then added all the #'s up, divided by 16 to get an avg for each team's schedule this year. I'm trying to get an 'early' idea for who has a good rushing schedule this year and who doesn't. I'll post the results below.
I also wanted to try and adjust my numbers (or at least my thoughts) about strength of schedule. To do this, we must consider who has strengthened or weakened their rushing defense for this year. I will also post the rank and yds/gm allowed for each team, defensively last year.
Which teams do you think have improved or weakened their rushing defenses this year? Is their a way to quantify any consesus changes we can make and apply these to the numbers?
If you think that I am wasting my time (this didn't take long btw) then please tell me why or give me a better way to determine strength of schedule for RB's. If this is useful, I can do one for WR's also.
Schedule - yds allowed per game (best rushing schedule on top)
Defensive Rank and yds/gm allowed for each team
