She's an expert in machine learning and AI. Like I was saying before, Jerry has the means to do this, and they should be doing it. She should be working hand-in-hand with coaches, and the scouting department, to analyze and highlight data that can give you an edge, or develop strategy. This is good.

She sounds bright.

The Patriots used to combine this sort of analysis with behavioral experts, body language experts and lip readers. That was half of Tom Brady's game. He was in tight with the analytics department.

I can't help but think Armbar Garcia was snubbed here.

If Sarah could get over her case of the ums, she could be interesting to listen to.

It looks like your 1999 prediction about the feminization of the NFL turned out to be correct.

I like her though. You just need someone to understand what they're doing, and she's pleasant enough.

Interesting stuff. I would advise her to do a cluster analysis of her vocabulary. She will find overuse of the word "um". She should try to eliminated that from her speaking.

I suppose it is only a matter of time before analytics evolves to the point of predictive reasoning. It is scary to think we may someday see computers predicting our every reaction with near certainty. But then analytics are also predictable so teams will see patterns in their and their opponents behaviors and compensate for that.

I have always wondered if someone would attempt to gather as lots of data about college players and NFL players and use it to predict with more accuracy who in the draft will succeed in NFL. I would not expect this to be perfect, but I suspect it could evolve to be better than Jerry and Stephen.

She says RBs are much more valuable than she previously thought

Good. Pay pollard. I knew people in here were clueless

It’s people like this that make a real difference in corporations. Quiet geniuses. She won’t replace scouting and coaching, but these new hires are going to provide an extra data point that can give a MAJOR edge in both evaluating players and making in game decisions.

Eventually coaches will need computer assistance in calling plays to not let their tendencies be exposed

Can't be any worse than 99.9% of the US population 35 and under starting every sentence with the word "so"
