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 thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
