Joe B. from WGR: Can EJ lead this team to the playoffs and if so, why?

 

Marrone: accuracy is better, decision making is better based on performance in practice against our own D.

 

Marrone: But you have to be able to do that in a real game against opposition.

 

Even more reason to start EJ vs the Pats to see if he is any better in a game setting. The opportunity was there but this staff just doesn't have a clue

Hackett should have been canned today. WTF is going on over there. Is Marrone being stubborn, then fire him. Conversation should be: Marrone, fire Hackett. If the answer is no, then Marrone should be gone as well.

These things are a waste of time. They're not going to say anything .

 

Agreed. Yet, fans will take one simple word in a sentence and use it to draw a number of ridiculous conclusions. It's good for the message board industry, thats about it.

marrone seems confident

 

whaley nervous

 

Marrone is a pompous d-bag. That's why he seems confident. I would love to see his smug a** gone. And I'm an SU grad and supported him at the beginning. But if your going to be such a smug jerk, be consistent about it and actually win something.

Unless they have already decided they are done with EJ.

Question: how did the analytics dept help this year?

 

whaley: thats proprietary

that part was particularly painful. whaley sounded like he had no idea what analytics can be used for. then marrone gave a speech about how much he uses analytics, and how they will do analytics-related stuff in the future that no one has even considered.

Look at first drive yesterday; we were calling same plays but were efficient and went down field and could score.

 

2nd half didn't make many adjustments; doing same things; didn't get same results.

 

that's the offensive genius i've come to love! :D

Whaley on Mike Williams:

 

We were looking for a guy to come in and help us. It didn't work out the way we wanted, but we will always do research to get good players.

 

Why didn't it work out? B/C Woods and Sammy stepped up and Chris Hogan was better option at slot. People got better, not to do with Mike and his performance; he just got beat out by the other receivers on the team.

Marrone: Easier for OL to move inside out, not outside in.

 

He's talking about Kouandjio.

 

We have to look to see where to move guys around.

Marrone said no need to make a ton of adjustments for second half b/c defensive coverages from NE were basically the same.

 

LOL. NE basically just trying to get that puppy in the garage with no major injuries.

Down and distance/4th down calculations are part of analytics but there is way more you can do with it. (Says Marrone)

 

what teams do in particular 'down and distance' situations have been called 'tendencies' since introduced to the league by the Cowboys GM Gil Brandt back in the late 60's

4th down risk / reward calcs - like 2 point conversion calcs - can probably be downloaded from the internet.

His specialty was supposed to be jump balls in the end zone. They struggled in the red zone. Marrone was just stubborn to not use him.

He's right IMO. Moving a tackle to guard limits his space and shortens his reaction time. It also exposes a "prototype" OT build (long, lean) to the rigors of having to face lower, stouter DTs.
