Keep them off schedule. And off the field.

We are not trying to call the look for you. We rank the menu: which coverages and fronts are most likely to keep the offense off schedule on this snap. Then we check that ranking against what actually happened.

Almost twice as likely to keep them off schedule

Off-schedule rate by rank

When we like the look, they stay off schedule more often

We sorted every unseen play into four equal piles by our pre-snap stop ranking. Bars show how often the offense actually stayed off schedule. League average on these snaps is 54.4%. The ranking itself still beats a coin flip (63.6%) — that is the method check, not the claim.

True stop · unfavorable

A loss that puts them behind the sticks

This is not "they failed to convert." A true stop is yards below the snap's unfavorable floor — a loss that puts them behind the sticks. Those snaps are rare (15.4% of the holdout). When we liked the look, they happened a lot more often.
