So far this summer, Cowboys have hired director of strategic football operations John Park from Colts, strategic football analyst Sarah Mallepalle from Ravens and now strategic football analyst William Britt from Steelers. Will be interesting how each team perspective contributes

They set up a department that was not in place like other NFL teams. Just like other NFL teams do not have the owner as GM, and defacto Head Coach as the same person. Arlington Jonesboys are the tail not the head when it comes to really trying to win Super Bowls every year.

Who was the motivation now? It wasn't a wife's tale as above. Smart is smart when it happens...

Hopefully one of these smart guys will run the numbers and convince Jerry to draft a QB next year.

I’m sure I’m missing something, but if the “analytics” we are talking about are anything similar to what’s used in baseball, I can’t at all see how it fits or would be useful.

There are too many variables in football to compile league wide numbers and have it matter much in a given moment.

Maybe one of you smart people wouldn’t mind explaining what these folks will be attempting to determine and how. I can’t see it.
