Add functionality to Broncos Sack Tracker, tracking individual players #8

Closed danielboniface closed 8 years ago

We would like to add to the sack tracker the ability to break down sacks by player, so that at quick glance users can see team sack leaders. I am picturing a second chart/graph below the first one that shows the season sack totals by player.

@danielboniface can you get me a list of all the Broncos players that could get sacks this season?

danielboniface commented 8 years ago

@freejoe76 I can get you that list. We have the data available in .xml format via SportsDirect. Should I create a new issue to have the sack tracker update live via those .xml files?

Thanks @danielboniface. Do all those positions have the potential to sack the QB?

danielboniface commented 8 years ago

@freejoe76 Anyone on defense could, in theory, sack the QB. I think the best way to handle this is if their sack total is 0, they are not displayed.

freejoe76 commented 8 years ago

Right. Which positions are most likely to sack the QB?

danielboniface commented 8 years ago

Linebackers get the most. Defensive ends/nose tackles get some. Then cornerbacks and safeties pick up one here or there (if they bring them on a blitz)

freejoe76 commented 8 years ago

Done and launched ( http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_28793554/denver-broncos-sack-tracker ). It's administered via a new tab on the SPORTS spreadsheet.
