but it's pretty wild this is something that can actually get tracked with accuracy. The powers of technology are shining through I suppose. How is that specific stat tracked though; I'm assuming it's through review of old game footage, right? That seems incredible time and energy consuming since I'm assuming that has to be done with the human eye and not simply through digital programming.

I'm assuming that an accurate number there since Zach Lowe is a fairly reputable dude and all.
