Matt Rhule is not into analytics, and his offensive philosophy is archaic and inefficient

There seems to be a perception Rhule is an analytics guy, but this couldn't be further from the truth.  He's actually pretty similar to Rivera, in that he's conservative, obsessed with running the ball, and playing for 'field position.'

These aren't...mutually exclusive. You can be more conservative and still buy into analytics.

I don't know how you got to that point. In fact if you look at trends now, running the ball out of spread formation and the RPO is what's hot rn. SF, Baltimore, hell even Green Bay is running more.

It's all analysis. Why you think analytics would only mean one narrow application is on you.

One application analyzes numbers associated with how to maximize human performance. Another application would be how to maximize strategic decisions. There would be other forms of analysis for building a competitive roster like they did at Baylor and described by Rhule.

Nobody ever stated a single narrow definition of how analytics would be used. 

A great book that can explain how wide it can be applied is A Brief History of Economic Genius. Tepper was an Economics major as an undergraduate.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion....

Sports Science = biology/chemistry

Analytics = math/computer science

 

Two completely different genres...

This is an oversimplification and frankly untrue.  Sports science uses analytics in many ways.  Analytics are not exclusively related to play calling or whatever the assumption is here.  Many subfields of biology rely on computational methods for analysis; it does not make them math instead of biology, because these days the overwhelming amount of science is interdisciplinary at some level.

Anyway we will see what Rhule does longer term with sports analytics.  Too early to say.

      You go after my guy with nonsense like "I don't see quickness or explosiveness" and "I haven't seen a lot of quickness or full route tree ability that we always ignore" Then yea, I'm gonna punch back. Like I've said, if people want to draft someone else, that's totally fine, everyone has their own opinions.  But if you're going to advocate against a specific player, don't talk complete nonsense about their game like this. Even more so, don't do that when you're saying I'm the one with a bias towards him. If I was afraid of it looking like a bias pick on my part, I'd never have said I was an Arizona alumni when arguing for him, but I've admitted it from the very beginning, because I don't think my Arizona connection gives me a bias, it just means I know his game REALLY well as I've seen every snap of his college career.  So yea, you start saying the knocks on him are things that he's actually really good at, then you're going to get an earful from me with some video evidence to back it up. In the end, for me, it all falls back to how rare a player like T-Mac can be due to his size.  The smaller speedier type of WRs are exactly who you can find in later rounds and who become available as Free Agents, I can't ever get on board with taking a Hunter (as a WR) or Burden over T-Mac if all were on the board, for that reason alone, and I'd say that if he was a freaking Sun Devil, no matter how much it would hurt me to admit if it if that were the case.
