KC The Football Scientist Joyner is bullish on Andre The Desert Dynamo Ellington: I have a metric called good blocking productivity (GBP). It combines good blocking rate (GBR: the measure of how often a team gives its ball carriers good blocking) with good blocking yards per attempt (GBYPA: how productive ball carriers are on good blocking plays). Getting to or over the 4.0 mark in GBP is really difficult and last year only two backs reached that level: McCoy (4.2) and Ellington (4.2). When a run game is that effective, a back can be RB1 at a relatively low carry volume (say, 225-250 carries). The Cardinals want Ellington to reach that level and more, and that gives him high-end RB1 upside. (Via ESPN) Is this another reason to like Ellington? Or is it to much hype ? Temron
