If Tunsil made pro bowl first season in Htown with one week before playing, he should have multiple awards next four years.
John Reed has feet, hips, competiveness and drive to make this team. Can he beat out Croessen?

Last year..................14 false starts, 3 offensive holding fouls, and 3 ineligible man downfield penalties...............with 3 of these being declined putting him at 17 total penalties.
I'm not arguing that Tunsil hasn't played well, but just pointing out the oddities of the ESPN "win rate" stat.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29939464/2020-nfl-pass-rushing-run-stopping-blocking-leaderboard-win-rate-rankings

Tunsil isn't even in the top 10 of pass block win rate.

Some other surprising "win rate" rankings:
  • JJ Watt is #6 in run stop win rate as an edge defender
  • Nick Martin is #4 in Center pass block win rate
  • Senio Kelemete is #1 in Guard run block win rate
  • Zach Fulton is #6 in Guard run block win rate
  • Nick Martin is #9 in Center pass block win rate
  • Texans are #2 in Team run stop win rate
  • Texans are #1 in Team run block win rate
According to the team win rate stats, we should be one of the best teams in running the ball and stopping the run. As we all know, that ain't true. What am I missing?

Although we all post stats, you've just discovered what I've been pointing out for years...............different statistics sources come up with different ways of looking at and interpreting stats...............and then in the end you're still left to rely on your own "lying eyes" anyway.

Comparing blockbuster deals for Texans' Laremy Tunsil, Ravens' Ronnie Stanley
Oct. 30, 2020


The blockbuster paydays for Texans Pro Bowl left offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl left tackle Ronnie Stanley are structured much differently.

Tunsil remains the highest paid offensive lineman in the league in the metric of average per year in new money, $22 million APY, on his three-year, $66 million contact extension signed in April.

Stanley signed a longer deal on Friday, a five-year extension worth $98.75 million in new money that carries a $19.75 million new-money average.

Stanley's deal, negotiated by Roc Nation Sports, includes $70.86 million guaranteed, including a $22.5 million signing bonus. It includes $1.25 million in annual Pro Bowl incentives that can boost the contract to a maximum value of $112.6 million.

The highest graded pass protecting tackle in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus, Tunsil received a $13 million signing bonus and $50 million total guaranteed. He can also get back to the table in a few years, which was a priority for Tunsil in negotiations.

Including the fifth-year club option of $10.85 million he's playing under this year, the deal has a total value of $76.35 million.

Here's how it breaks down each year on a contract negotiated by Tunsil with help from advisors Laolu Sanni and Pete Riley:

Here's how it "breaks " down for me: Tunsil's ankles are healthy, Stanley out for season.
