Tepper to Coaching Staff: Use Modern Analytics

[Moo Daeng]

Our 1st down pass % last year was 53.2%. Last week it was 45%

Typical ignorance on display in this topic.

Yep. Week two of season one.

He seems to really enjoy being heard. It’s not my preference, and I’d advise him against it. (I know, fans: It’s not my $2.3 billion.)

By the way, here’s New England’s (5 rings) analytics department:

So far, my analytics don’t agree with Dave’s.

Not a big fan of owners weighing in on football decisions but if this somehow results in Ron finally getting it thru his head that Amini is garbage.....I'm all for it

We passed more on 1st down = analytics. 

 

 

Which means absolutely nothing after a coach starts "running clock" and "sitting on the ball" mid-2nd quarter and then the team is behind by late 3rd quarter and spends the entire 4th quarter using "SAVE ME CAM!" pass-pass-pass.

Those entire quarters of desperation "SAVE ME AGAIN CAM!" pass-pass-pass because you've fugged up the rest of the game tend to skew the actual in-game percentages you like to point out.

It seems like the definition of meddling to me.  If Jerry Jones gave instructions to the coaching staff, Panther fans would be bashing him for months, and rightfully so.

Fans are generally defensively biased. Particularly when they want to believe (desperately) that something new = something great. 

I love the team. I think Tepper may do well. It’s more than ok to disagree with him on something. He’s not going to stop taking your money.

Tepper is letting the staff know that there is an accountability...

A good starting point would be to hire a real GM, not making public insinuations about your coaching staff not being woke enough for 2018.

Given this was essentially a press release (team site puff piece), it’s even more puzzling.

Its puzzling that the facts dont support the statement.

In a prior post, I sampled last week’s win stacked against last year’s 17-3 win @ Tampa. (Similar score, play count, etc). The pass/run ratio on 1st down nearly mirrors eachother.

Here’s last week compared to the game prior (2017 WC Game):

Again, this is a high-level view, one that speaks to Tepper’s high-level statement. (WC game has a higher pass rate, as the team played from behind all game) 

I’m sure I could dig deeper (down/dis, score, time, FP), but I’m not a goddamn volunteer.

It seems the Shula Defense Squad hasn't disappeared after all.

They've just ordered new t-shirts.

Mike Shula was monumentally terrible at his job. 

I’m not endorsing prior formulas. I’m simply pointing out data that I’m collecting.
