Tepper to Coaching Staff: Use Modern Analytics


NAS

Recommended Posts

    When Tepper said this I rolled my eyes for two reasons. It really seemed odd that he would try and tell his HC what to do. Especially this early in his tenure as owner. And through the media? 

 

    Football is a game of analytics. Coaches spend hours pouring over film every week. They have to. Teams change every week. Players change every week. Coaches change every week. There is not much more analyticing you can do.

 

    So to sum up. Tepper may just have shown us that he is one of us. Albeit, with a lot more money. But just a fan who loves him some football. Even if he doesn't quite know as much as he thought he did.

Maybe Tepper will get send them to Excel training classes. Make them all Six Sigma Black Belts....median is everything!

Pivot tables and vlookups. Trend graphs. Serious analytics. 

It's great if the owner wants to invest in these aspects. In sure the coaching staff would love more resources.  Its typical that some of you interpret this as coaches not wanting or being open to this. This is were you are supposed to blame Richardson but have missed the real target.

I think Jahri Evans went to a small school, but I couldn't tell you which one.  I believe there are others but that's the only one that comes to mind.

I agree with Linville about Moton.

Edit: Forgot another Saints guy, Terron Armstead.  He's doing okay.

I'd agree it's rare though.  I much prefer players from big time schools.

Taylor Moton did not come from a "small school".

Lesser known =/= "small"

Western Michigan plays in the Mid-American Conference, i.e. the MAC.  Is the MAC on the same level as the SEC or the ACC or the Big 10, etc?  No... no it is not.  But they play BIG BOY football in the MAC and poo-tons of good NFL players are produced by the MAC. 

The MAC is in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) which is the old "Division I-A".  Division I-A/FBS is big-boy football.

If MAC schools are "small schools" then so are teams like Vanderbilt and Oregon State and Rutgers and Kansas (and others) who play in major conferences but who generally have had less success historically in football than many of the MAC schools.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
