FYI these are not working on email at all. Putting two images on the same line appears to be the problem, because it causes every picture to get cropped off on the left and the right so you’re missing a chunk of all the information on every picture and unable to zoom or scroll to see it.

Thanks for making me aware of this... I've been sharing them in the "Gallery" format for each game. Wondering if I post the images individually if it'll fix that. Will test it out and see if it helps!

Two other notes of feedback, in case they’re helpful from a user standpoint.

It’s always drawing to me to see a column of safeties before a column of corners. Safety is the last line of defense so my brain always expects to see those names last.

Likewise, if it’s possible, I would 100% always prefer to see the five offensive lineman from left or right in the exact order that they lineup, rather than order of snap count in those five players cases. Because those aren’t familiar names to most of us so then when one guy is missing some snaps, it’s hard to tell if that’s the guard or left tackle or what. I realize it’s a snap count chart by position, but those are technically five positions anyway.

Anyhow, do with all that what you will and it may be just personal preference, but thought you might like the feedback. Appreciate all your work as always.

Thanks, I suspect that will help with another problem I noticed, which is not the left and right arrows that let you scroll between each section of pictures are covering up some of the names and data and I can’t figure out a way to solve that either. I’m guessing at each picture is just posted individually, that problem will also disappear. Certainly don’t mean to complain about free data and charts, so thanks for all your work on this!

When someone gives you gold it’s maybe inappropriate to ask for it to be shinier, but when I look at these I’m comparing to injury reports and prior snap count data to see what is different in this week vs prior weeks. This is incredibly useful and very fast so nothing has to be better but just a suggestion to consider!!!

I'm always trying to make these better, so I love the feedback! Injury reports is a good idea. I actually hadn't considered that, but I think I should be able to add that on. Agree completely that prior weeks would be useful. I'm currently thinking through how to add that when it is relevant without adding clutter when it is not.

Pittsburgh is a good example, their defense was missing three starters due to injury and they had two more go down early in the game. Maybe that’s a text recap instead of a visual? I’m not at all clear on how to express it. Also later in the year it would likely be fun to see situations where a younger guy is earning the trust of the coaches by getting more snaps. It’s already cool as is!!
