Get personnel by play #110

Closed Plarubato closed 4 years ago

Plarubato commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I can get players out of a play by doing:

g = nflgame.one(2019,1,'BAL','BAL')
for g in g.drives:
    for p in g.plays:
        print(p.players)

But this only gets the players involved in that play. Is there any way of getting all the players in the offensive side for each play?

I would like to calculate the personnel lineup of each play (11, 21 etc).

Thanks

Afraid not, at least not from this API. You are displaying every player that nflgame is aware of in your code. If they didn't record a stat, they are not generally included in the play-by-play that is the source of nflgame's data.

Thanks for the clarification @ochawkeye! And thanks for getting this great API going on!
