How does any modern translation have a heritage going back to Tyndale? All of them depart from the Reformation text. The NIV is based upon the critical text, the ESV is based upon the critical text - they are both orphaned siblings.
How do you see the ESV having a lineage back to Tyndale?
It means in regard to translation philosophy, not textual criticism but that is

And let's not forget that even Edward Hills admitted the Reformers did not always agree with the "Reformation Text".
