Well, Analytics aren't the be all, end all either. I mean, the people who are successful in the NFL are not the ones who follow the trend. By that time, you are behind the eight ball. They are the ones who are in front of the curve. People laughed at New England when they hired Belichick, after the whole Cleveland debacle but you know what, people aren't laugh any more, unless you count that nervous laugh you hear from fans, just before you play them. Analytics are a tool, they are not the answer IMO.

They always do, but the aspect of analytics is not going away. It is not just the Ravens that use analytics. Nor is it even remotely smart to dismiss them because the guy who signs your checks believes the same.

The Pats were one of the first teams to really start using this stuff.

I think they know what they are doing.

The fact Jerry, Garrett and Mickey are spouting nonsense about this stuff is hilarious.

Pats are big proponents of analytics.

100% agree. I just shook my head at Garrett for dismissing the thought of analytics and saying they don't consider them. It's shameful.

Mickey's whole argument against using football analytics is that Jerry's accountant told him not to buy the Cowboys?


Wow. That's epic propaganda work by Mickey.
John Harbaugh's ravens are using analytics for every third down play . They are converting an inordinate amount into first downs albeit including fourth downs too. Analytics matter

I agree, they are a tool and not the end all be all. Although that tool should be considered in addition to game flow, field conditions, injuries, instincts ect.

Truth be told, all three of thsee guys are inconsequential bags of hot air that nobody listens to.

Not according to the ratings. Shan and RJ is the highest rated show...particularly the 6:00-7:00 am hour...in DFW.

Aren’t the Cowboys the top 3rd down offense in the league?

Yeah, but we don't know if they are using analytics to base game time decisions on. I've no doubt they use it in their preperations.

They use it in scouting, prep and even in game decision making. Now, sure, they don’t let it dictate every play but they use it.

Far more than our bunch of crackpots.
