Cowboys have an analytics staff

[garyo1954]

Love him or hate one of BigMac's promises was an analytics staff.....and it appears he delivered!

One thing is for sure: McCarthy is a different coach in Dallas than he was in Green Bay. There’s a snide joke to be made here about his win/loss totals, but the biggest difference is that McCarthy’s decision-making in Dallas was largely in line with what the analytics tend to suggest. Sure, he wasn’t always perfect, but it was a big improvement over his Packers days when he openly derided the practice, as well as a big improvement over his predecessor in Dallas.

Either way, it seems that McCarthy may have delivered on his promise of an analytics team ahead of the 2021 season. There are now four different individuals listed on the coaching staff on the team’s website that are dedicated to analytics. Those four are Kyle Valero, Ryan Feder, Eric Simonelli, and Justin Rudd. And a flow chart for his proposed 14-person Football Technology Department, including a six-person video unit and an eight-person analytics team.

The analytics I want to see is where we have more points than our opponents.

Better than his predecessor! That's the most important part.

They are the ones that came up with this GPS nonsense. The bane of Dak's existence.

Cowboys have an analytics staff......
Will those "analytics" improve Dinucci's throwing mechanics? Will they improve Jaylon Smith's hitch when he runs? Will they keep Zek from fumbling the ball? That's what I thought, so much for analytics.

 

[CoachD]

The analytics I want to see is where we have more points than our opponents.

And more wins in the win loss column!

Analytics is so overrated in this particular sport. But this is something coaches have to have now or else they get bombarded by the Twitter experts.

Twitter GM's suck more than Jerry does at being a GM.

 

[Techsass]

Curious what their main focus will be. I can see the pre-fabbed odds for 4 & 3 on their 40 yard line, etc., but wonder if it'll also include the traing & development side.

They suck almost as much as YouTube scouts.

We went from scouting, to reel to reel film, to vcr, to mini vhs, to cd, to computer film. Those don't do any of the things you mentioned either. What they do is provide tendencies for your opponent and if you're smart, for your own team, among many more things. Analytics is here to stay.

you should be happy then you will probably see that 6 or 7 times this year

You are half right. It will be 12 to 14 times.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Can they analyze the GM position...

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Analytics is fine and dandy, but it has less of an impact in pro football being that it is more of a team sport than does tennis, golf, or even baseball with pitcher vs. batter. Tendencies can be affected and altered depending on various factors like personnel, weather, weaknesses, injuries and even the score. It still becomes a chess game between you and your opponent and every game is different. Its good for conversation but I don't see it making much of a difference in who wins or loses.

Analytics is nothing new. IIRC, Garrett had people doing the same thing as MM’s people, but Garrett didn’t feel the need to put a label on them. MM sold himself to Jerry by going on and on about analytics, but MM wasn’t doing nothing that the rest of the league has been doing for the last decade or more.

The first four letters of that word remind me of Garrett.....yuk!!!
