3D training

Staying ahead of the game!

Although the Cowboys will be leaving their Valley Ranch headquarters and heading to Frisco next year, the club is making some additions to their current building. The sounds of saws and hammers have recently been heard as a 3-D video room has been constructed....

Nice. I listened to an interview the founder of the company did on NFL radio a couple months ago. It's pretty exciting technology. They load your entire playbook into the virtual reality system and you can run any style of defense against your plays. They can measure QB recognition and reaction time, and of course the players get unlimited numbers of mental reps. At this point, it's principally just for quarterbacks. But the company is still pretty young, and is expanding their services. They've been working with a small number of college and NFL teams. In the near future, I think it'll be ubiquitous. Glad the Cowboys are getting early on this.

How soon before it's acceptable to do scouting based on Maddden?

I am actually heading this division.

The movie the Lawnmower Man comes to mind. They used a slow witted guy as the test subject in virtual reality experiments. The more he learned, the faster he learned until things spiraled out of control.

It was a hokey movie, but the concept was interesting.

A feature film, The Lawnmower Man, starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan, was released in 1992 by New Line Cinema. The film concerns a scientist, Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Brosnan), who subjects mentally ******** Jobe Smith (Fahey) to virtual reality experiments. Jobe's mental abilities improve to superhuman levels as the process continues, but he lacks the emotional maturity and character to use his powers humanely. When Angelo's employers interfere with the process, Jobe becomes a homicidal megalomaniac.

It is nothing like 3d.

This is a brilliant approach. Making a flight simulator of sorts is a great way to develop a young QB. It allows for live style reps where they otherwise wouldn't get them, with an ability to vary looks per the opponent.

The Cowboys have historically been a team that has been ahead of the curve analytically - the Landry multiple offense, the Flex defense, computerized scouting of college players, psychological testing of prospective players, mass scouting and recruitment of undrafted free agents, quarterback schools and OTAs, the draft trade chart, and now, this. Give credit to the front office and coaching staff for leveraging any tool available to better the operation.

I know the movie. I recall liking it originally but tried to rewatch it a while back and it's pretty bad.

Yep, I re-watched it a few years ago and it's cheesy. It was the concept I found interesting, especially for 1992.

Sometimes the internet can feel a little like the concept in the movie where access to information is instantaneous and you feel like you can learn way more and way faster than in the pre-internet days.

Yeah, pretty amazing topic to deal with for 1992, before most homes even had personal computers.
