We have all seen various team power rankings.  Frankly, most of those are just the opinions of the person doing the ranking.  However,  think this graph combining offensive and defensive EPA per play is a pretty objective way of seeing how well a team is playing.




In terms of the new management team, the Giants were the 5th worst (based on draft slot) team in the league when Shane and Daboll took over.  Now into their third year running the team, they moved up to 8 (in a tight bunch with a few other teams).   I am not sure this is the sort of improvement I was expecting after 3 offseasons to improve the roster and how the team plays.

Same QB same (ish) results.  Not a coincidence that after 4 weeks the MVP of the league is Jayden Daniels and Washington suddenly has the most efficient offense in the sport seemingly over night.

I am pretty sure EPA per pass attempt is actually the highest of the team's EPA per (the other two being EPA per rush and EPA per defensive play).
