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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
