move the football but they only tell part of the story Advanced stats like depth of target separation window and completion probability provide greater insight but they still leave out an important factor Namely which route did the pass catcher run to get open antes catching the ball <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> With the help of player tracking technology the Next Gen Stats Analytics team set out to answer that exact question decoding one of the key elements of an offensive play call by using player tracking data to measure which routes pass catchers are running on any given pass play <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> Last month we revealed a new set of rushing metrics derived from the ability to calculate <a href="/pt/httpswwwnflcomnewsnext/" gen stats intro to expected rushing yards>Jardas corridas esperadas<a> Today we are introducing another new machine learning tool o reconhecimento de rota modelo which classifies routes by type in real time with the help of player tracking data <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> Lets dig into the methodology behind the Route Recognition model <wpparagraph> <wpheading nível3> <h3>Como funciona o modelo<h3> <wpheading> <wpparagraph> The Next Gen Stats player tracking system records the x y location speed acceleration direction and orientation of all 22 players on the field in real time Our new Route Recognition model leverages this data as inputs into a model that assigns a tipo de rota to every eligible receiver on every pass play including tight ends and running backs Our architectural approach uses a combination of convolutional neural networks CNNs e long short term memory LSTM networks treinado em <a href="/pt/httpsawsamazoncomsagemaker/">Amazons SageMaker platform<a> CNNs allow us to engage with the spatial nature of our dataset that is where each player is on the field in a given play while LSTM networks allow us to engage with the temporal nature of our dataset what happens as the play develops over time <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> We approached routes run by players aligned in the backfield separately from routes run by players aligned out wide in the slot or tight because of clear differences in route archetypes Below are the 15 unique route types assigned to all route runners based on their location when the ball is snapped Note that while NFL playbooks have hundreds of variations of routes weve narrowed it down to these high level categories including 10 routes for those in typical wideout alignments and five for those aligned in the backfield <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> Wideout Routes 10 Screen flat slant crossing out in hitch corner post go Backfield Routes 5 Screen flat angle out wheel <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> The model was trained and validated against all routes from every passing play from 2018 and 19 including both the regular season and the postseason All route runners were included regardless of whether or not they were targeted given that we could not find a difference between the shapes of targeted routes and non targeted routes we saw no reason to train on only targeted routes In total the amplo model was trained on over 100000 routes while the defesa model was trained on over 15000 routes <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> To avoid noise in the data from broken plays during which pass catchers often stop running their assigned routes and player movement depois the catch which would not tell us much about the efficacy of any given route all routes were capped at either the moment the ball was passed forward ou at a given time 46 seconds after the snap for wideout routes and 4 seconds after the snap for backfield routes whichever came first The optimal time limits for these route types were determined by analyzing how pass attempts played out over the past two seasons for reference 44 seconds accounted for the 75th percentile of all pass attempts by time to throw in that span <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> Heres a visualization of route paths sorted by our predicted route type <wpparagraph> <wpimage alinhamentocentro> <div class="wp" block image><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="httpsstaticwwwnflcomimageprivatet" editorial landscape 8 desktop mobilef autoleaguezzzjndwgvhbgxzdob2ayjpg alt="Wideout" route paths 1><figure><div> <wpimage> <wpparagraph> For training purposes the tracking data for the wideout model has been normalized such that all the pass catchers are to the left of the quarterback with the rationale being that the route paths are symmetrical We found the shape of the routes aligned with our expectations of route paths no egregious model predictions seem apparent <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> Future iterations of the model will look to delve deeper into the route tree to account for the nuance of route running at the pro levelhttps91c9f45c7ceaa574696f04786ac1c7e4safeframegooglesyndicationcomsafeframe1 0 37htmlcontainerhtml <wpparagraph> <wpheading nível3> <h3>O que podemos aprender<h3> <wpheading> <wpparagraph> Real time route classification enables us to contextualize the passing game in new ways We can study league wide trends to gain a new understanding of offensive strategy and tendencies and we can break down and rank individual players by advanced performance metrics <wpparagraph> <wpparagraph> The table below combines our more descriptive NGS receiving metrics with the results of our Route Recognition model The values corresponding to each route represent league averages over the last two seasons Only amplo routes are included ie players aligned wide in the slot or tight
