For instance, I'd like to be able to only look at plays between the 40s, or from the opponent's 10 to the 30 yardline, but I can't do that the way it is set up now!

Hard to decide which teams are truly trying for it vs. being conservative.

Teams on 4th-and-15 are *always* trying to gain the full 15 yards (or more). I think the defense's "attitude" is less important than the offense's.
