I was not like 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 4: some Hall of Fame player. Pro Bowl players are gonna 21 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 4: remember me. They're gonna pay him. They're gonna say, oh, yeah, 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 4: he's the guy that went to prison. He's a smart guy. Hey, No, Brandy, 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 4: it's intentional. You might have made the Pro Bowl. 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: Considering that Shador Sanders gets to make the Pro Bowl, 25 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 2: you might they might have said, we need we need somebody, 26 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: how about you, Ross, That's. 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: Actually a good point. In two thousand and four, I 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: definitely had a better season than this year. 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: Not a quarterback, No, But back then, back then they 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 4: would actually like it was hard to make the Pro Bowl. 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 4: I I honestly, I talked about this this morning on 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 4: the Ross Tucker Football podcast, And forgive my ignorance, I 33 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 4: legitimately don't even know how he. 34 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: Was the next alternate up like it was. 35 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: I'm sure he won the fan vote, like in a landslide, 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 4: Like how is it Drake May's out? 37 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: So Shador Sanders is in. 38 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 5: A lot of people had to say no. 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: Evidently, But I get it. 40 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: If this is a TV show, that that's what they're doing. 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 5: I understand you're going to bring him in. I mean, 42 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 5: I'm okay with it. 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: I don't value the Pro Bowl designation like I used to. 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 2: And my suggestion is that you have an NFC AFC 45 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl roster that you announced, whether they can play 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: in it or not, you're still the Pro Bowl player 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: at that position for that year. Anybody else is just 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl Games participant and should be noted and 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: not on your resume. 50 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 5: That you were a Pro Bowl player. 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: I agree with that one hundred percent. 52 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 4: That seems like a fantastic way to go about it, 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: because there needs to be some distinction between the guys 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: that actually earned it and the guys that were the 55 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 4: fourth alternate and ended up. 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: But don't even I honestly don't even know what it's 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: called the Pro Bowl. They play like flag football. I 58 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: really don't even know what they do anymore. 59 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: They have challenges and tuggle war and you know, okay, 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: but let's be fair. Let's say you had a chance 61 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: in two thousand and four and they said, hey, we 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: would like for you to be an alternate for the 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. 64 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 5: Would you have done it? 65 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely if you knew that there were like twenty linemen 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: in front of you who declined going to the Pro Bowl. 67 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: Yes, you know why because if you looked at my Wikipedia, 68 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: it would say Ross Tucker is. 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: A former Pro Bowl offensive lineman from Why Miss defensiveany 70 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: It's like it's like I won, I can't remember, Oh, oh, 71 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: I know what it is. 72 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: I do Eagles preseason games, as you know, Dan, and 73 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 4: I've been I've been nominated or we've been nominated for. 74 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 3: Multiple mid Atlantic Emmys. Right, So you know what I am. 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: I'm an Emmy nominated broadcast. 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: And that's legit. You can look it up. There's links 77 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: and everything. I am an Emmy nominated brog. I haven't 78 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: won it yet, but I've been nominated. 79 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: Seaton. 80 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 5: Would you give ross the two poll questions today? 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 82 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 6: Right now, We've got up there which wins more games? 83 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 6: Gut feeling or analytics? And then another one here from PAULI, 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 6: which would NFL fans prefer the new head coach of 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 6: their team, the hot young assistant or the older established coach. 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 4: Well, the second one is are you asking my opinion 87 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: or what I think people want? 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: You know? 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: Your opinion? 90 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: Ooh, my opinion is probably the older established coach. 91 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: No, I don't know what you know. 92 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 4: I everybody immediately goes to Mike McCarthy, but I'm looking 93 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: at more like Stefanski, John Harbaugh sala. I think what 94 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 4: these teams are doing by hiring guys and giving them 95 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: a second chance or a second. 96 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: I think that's smart. 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 4: You know, everybody in life learns from your mistakes and 98 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: gets you would think you'd like to think would get 99 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: better when you get a second opportunity. You know, I 100 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: certainly feel like I'm a better broadcaster than I was, 101 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: you know, when I. 102 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 3: Was starting out. 103 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 4: So I'll give me the guy with experience, because you're 104 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: really rolling the dice with the guy that's never done 105 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 4: it before. In terms of analytics versus gut, I will 106 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: lean probability, I will lean to the numbers. 107 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: I will lean analytics. But I think I don't like 108 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: how that's phrased. 109 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: So one of my ability probability is Okay, when you 110 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: say analytics, it triggers something in people. 111 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: Two thousand percent correct, And that's the thing, Like analytics 112 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 4: is just probability. 113 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: And I know, uh Stink was on with you guys 114 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: yesterday and you have a lot of attention. He doesn't 115 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: like nerds and all that stuff. 116 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 4: You know, I know that any player that's ever played, 117 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: the defensive coordinators pour overtape to try to identify what 118 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: you're most likely to do in these situations. You know, 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 4: when they're in this personnel grouping, they're seventy five percent 120 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 4: run to the writer thirty two percent. What I'm just 121 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 4: making it up, Okay, All that the analytics are trying 122 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 4: to do is allow you to know what the probability 123 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: is of each decision you could make the issue I 124 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 4: have Dan, let's talk about the Sean Payton decision, all right, 125 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: and let's just say, because that's all where Greg Olsen said, 126 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 4: the analytics said to kick, which surprised me. 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: By the way fourth and one from the fourteen that 128 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: would surprise me. 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: I'd like to talk to Greg about that and see 130 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: where he's getting that information. 131 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 7: But these are. 132 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: Living, breathing games, Like do the analytics which you've created 133 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: before the game, how much do they take into account 134 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: that you have Jared Sidham as your quarterback? 135 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: How much you take into account is going to snow 136 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: in the second half. How about the fact. 137 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: That if you kick the field goal, you're going up 138 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: by two scores. That's why I think it's really important 139 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: that these coaches take into account what the win probability 140 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: tells them, take into account what the analytics recommends, but 141 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: then also use your own judgment. 142 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: It should really just be one. 143 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 4: Of the inputs that you're factoring into ultimately making the decision, 144 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: because some of the other inputs you should be considering 145 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: are not built into the analytical model, which, by the way, 146 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 4: every team has their own. So when you see these 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: like TV, these games they're like the analytics, say, yeah, 148 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 4: the analytics is not some bible that is like every 149 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: team's reading from the same book of analytics. It's every 150 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: team has their own model based on their own things 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: that they value and don't value. 152 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One broadcaster and host of 153 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He will be the color 154 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: analyst on the Super Bowl for UK Radio. 155 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: How about that? 156 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 5: How is your British accent? 157 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: Oh, I'm not gonna try to do that, but you know, 158 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: the play by play guy is the redheaded guy with 159 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: the beard, Will Gavin, who went viral for some of 160 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 4: his calls during the playoffs. 161 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: He's play by play.

People do that. That works. 182 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 5: You never know who's gonna be listening. 183 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 3: That's right. 184 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 5: You never know. 185 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: There could be somebody who hears you and they go, wow, 186 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: you know what I have that guy in mind for. 187 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: They're the director for Marty Supreme, the Timothy Schallomet movie. 188 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: It's a big fan of Howard Stern, and Howard had 189 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: a couple of his callers, regular callers that this guy 190 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: put in the movie with Timothy shallow May. And one 191 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: Mary Anne from Brooklyn is in a scene with Timothy 192 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: shallow May. And it's only because that one of the 193 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: Saftie brothers said I want her in the movie. 194 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: You never know that. 195 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: That's incredible, Almost as incredible as the fact that I'm 196 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 4: familiar with who that actor is and I've seen him 197 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 4: like Court sided the Knicks, and but I don't really 198 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: watch television and movies like other than like documentaries or 199 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: football documentaries. Dan, I swear I thought his name was Challamet. 200 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 4: I had never I had never heard it pronounced before. 201 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: I had no idea it was Shallo May and that 202 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 4: Challa May sounds so much better than Challamet. 203 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, Timothy Challa May. 204 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: Timothy Chara May is not from Pittsburgh. 205 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: He's from New York. His dad is French, Timothy Chela May. 206 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: The Rams lost because Dot dont. 207 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: Uh because the kid muffed the punt, I mean, and 208 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: their defense blew it, you know. I mean, those are 209 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 4: the two things that jumped out to me. That's rough 210 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: to have a guy that earlier in the game. He's 211 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: a second year kid from Florida, A and m Xavier Smith. 212 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: He muffs it, Dan, but they recover it. 213 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: So you could have made the decision theoretically to put 214 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: Kyen Williams back there. The kid muffs another one, they 215 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: get a touchdown, then you put Kyen Williams back there. 216 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: That was obviously a huge difference. But I don't know 217 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: what happened to the Rams defense. 218 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 3: I mean, Clint. 219 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: Kubiak, that's a guy that should get a head coaching 220 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: job the OC for the Seahawks. He impressed me, and 221 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 4: they lit up the Ram The Rams def needed to 222 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: be better than that. I mean, Stafford played unbelievable and 223 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 4: they still lost. 224 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 5: The Broncos lost because. 225 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: Sean Payton got out coached and Jared Sidham did the 226 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 4: only things he can't do. I mean, it felt like 227 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: to me that and I think Sean Payton's a good coach. 228 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 4: But you gotta kick the field goal there. You gotta 229 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 4: kick the field goal, you gotta go up two scores. 230 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: I thought that was and that was not hindsight. I'm 231 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: literally eating the press box food in Seattle. Ask Kurt 232 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: owner name drop, stay next to Kurt Orner, Hall of Famer, 233 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: and we're watching the game, and as soon as it's 234 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: fourth and one from the fourteen, Kurt and I are 235 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 4: both like, kicked the field goal, go up two scores. 236 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: And then Kurt even says he's going to run the 237 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: running back into the flat, which was exactly the play call, 238 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,479 Speaker 4: and it was totally covered, so they should. 239 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 3: Kick the field goal there and then Stidham. 240 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: I mean, if Stidham just doesn't fumble that backwards pass 241 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 4: or ever calling it, the Broncos probably win the game. 242 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: It's a screen pass. I thought I was Sean Payton. 243 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: That's a safe play. Dirt the ball. 244 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: Broncos probably win that football game. 245 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 5: What are the Steelers getting with Mike McCarthy. 246 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 4: Tough, tough, hard nose Pittsburgh football coach. He's just a 247 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: guy from Pittsburgh. Loves football, always has, always will. When 248 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: I was working a pitt I would headed the overnight 249 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: shift on the turnpike collecting tolls. I actually loved Mike McCarthy. 250 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: I dude, imagine not only getting a chance to coach 251 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: three NFL teams, but it's the Packers, the Cowboys and 252 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 4: the Steelers. I mean, that will never happen again. That 253 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 4: will never be a thing. It's funny because I have 254 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: a lot of friends. There's Steelers fans. They are very upset, 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: and I think the big thing is they kind of 256 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: wanted to reset Dan, but you never know what the 257 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 4: owners looking for. McCarthy must have sold them on. I 258 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: can get Aaron to comeback. We can do one more 259 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: run at this thing with Cam Hayward and TJ. Watt 260 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: and this core group of guys. And if you've noticed 261 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: the Steelers, that's. 262 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: What they like. 263 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: They like to be in the mix. They like to 264 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: win nine or ten games and make the playoffs. And 265 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: that must have been what they wanted to hear. But 266 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 4: I mean, he can do it for six to eight 267 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: years and be competitive. It just I think Steelers fans 268 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 4: were ready to go to a new era, and I 269 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: don't want to say rebuild, but they were ready for 270 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: a young coach and a new young quarterback. 271 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: More impressive the turnaround by Indiana Football or the Patriots 272 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: this year. 273 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: It's a really good question. 274 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: I'll say Indiana Football just because they've been so bad 275 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: for so long to go from there to you know, 276 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: to win this the national championship in two years at 277 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: the college level and I know the portals change stuff 278 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: in nil or whatever what Rabel's done. And the Patriots 279 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 4: are super impressive because I did a couple of their 280 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 4: games on TV last year. 281 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: They had the worst receiving corps in the league. They 282 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: had the worst offensive line in the league. 283 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 4: But you could tell Drake May was the goods. You 284 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: could tell Drake May was the real deal. So and 285 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 4: they were very I think poorly coached. Probably last year 286 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: coaching was an issue. So I'll still say Indiana's more 287 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: impressive than New England's had. 288 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: I mean, Dan, think about New England's run to the 289 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: Super Bowl here. They probably don't win that game unless TJ. 290 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: Stroud loses his mind. 291 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: They probably don't win against Denver unless Peyton doesn't kick 292 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: the field goal in Stidham makes those decision. It's funny 293 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 4: because I just recorded the even Money betting podcast and 294 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: my co said they are limping to the super Bowl. 295 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: That might be a little bit of a stretch. I 296 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: don't know if I go that far, but needless to. 297 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: Say, the handicappers are not very impressed by how the 298 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: Patriots are playing going to the super Bowl, which is 299 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 4: why the Seahawks are favored by as much as they are. 300 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: Ross Tucker, the Voice of English Football, Are Football? 301 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: I like that.

When did analytics become a bad 334 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: word here in sports? 335 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: I don't know. 336 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 9: For me, it's always been a good word. When I 337 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 9: was playing at Stanford, we used it a ton on 338 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 9: decision making, mostly from a team tendency point of view. 339 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 9: But I think what happened when early two thousands when 340 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 9: teams started changing how they approached the decision making process. 341 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 9: And we're using what has been popularized from the hitting 342 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 9: game of football, which is a based off of a 343 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 9: lot of the hitting game of baseball, where we're able 344 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 9: to find that field position can contribute a lot to 345 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 9: what you're likely to do next or predict out the 346 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 9: future scenarios and how much harder it is to play 347 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 9: from inside your own five. And you know, with the 348 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 9: dawn of football, three points two field goal possessions is 349 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 9: actually worse than one touchdown possession with the seven points 350 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 9: and that changing a lot of how we can approach 351 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 9: the math of a game. I think probably the early 352 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 9: to late twenty tens is when it started to shift 353 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 9: and become a big thing. That and anytime you change it, 354 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 9: it's gonna cause some friction there. 355 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 2: Just feels like if we said probability, people wouldn't have 356 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: as much of a problem as analytics sounds like I'm 357 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: smarter than you as opposed to probability. 358 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: I don't know. We don't recoil when we hear probability. 359 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 9: You're hitting the nail on the head. And a large 360 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 9: part of the decision making process in analytics, as you say, 361 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 9: is the conversion probability, right, and that fourth and one. 362 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 9: The next Gen Stats model had a sixty five percent 363 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 9: to convert, but when you look at it from a 364 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 9: run versus pass scenario was seventy percent on the run 365 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 9: and fifty five percent on the pass. And they choose 366 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 9: to call a pass play right, So it's changing the 367 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 9: math based on the play call. I think that's what's 368 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 9: hard when you you have these public models like the 369 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 9: Next Gen Stats model or different models that can often 370 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 9: come up with different solutions. We're never going to have 371 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 9: all the information that the team has But what these 372 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 9: models can do is help inform how should you game plan. 373 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 9: When I used to consult with teams, I would say, 374 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 9: just like you have a third down period, you should 375 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 9: start thinking about having a fourth down period, and new 376 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 9: play designs, things like the Tush push come out of it. 377 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 9: At Stanford, we had a ninety five percent conversion rate 378 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 9: on short yardage one. I moved the ball forward a 379 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 9: yard and a half typically until Notre Dame found out, 380 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 9: and then on the other side of it was we 381 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 9: had a unique play design looked a lot like the 382 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 9: Tush push. We call it sixty four League dive. And 383 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 9: when you're running behind David DeCastro and handing the ball 384 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 9: off to guys like Steffan Taylor, it's gonna convert. And 385 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 9: so it changes the math and the pro and the 386 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 9: conversion probability, and you need to focus on mostly, hey, 387 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 9: here's a guiding principle on how you should approach fourth down. 388 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 9: But the conversion probably is so important. And when I 389 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 9: would consult with teams, it's all about it's conversion probably 390 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 9: is not real, it's what's happened before in the similar situations. 391 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 9: It's how confident are you in your play call in 392 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 9: that scenario. 393 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm trying to understand this, Sam that the 394 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 2: game is fluid. It's can I upgrade my analytics during 395 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: a game that's going to factor in Their defensive line 396 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: is better than we thought. The wind is whipping up, 397 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 2: the weather is coming in. You already are factoring in 398 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: Jared's Stidham into this equation before the game. But how 399 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: do you upgrade during a game. 400 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 9: That's a big part of what teams do. So the 401 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 9: teams will you'll often hear people go go buy the book. Well, 402 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 9: they actually print out a book based on what they 403 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 9: think the game will be like and what scenario they're 404 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 9: in to help guide their decision. And you look old 405 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 9: school at the slide role looking for the situation. Go okay, coach, 406 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 9: if we get to a fourth and two or less here, 407 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 9: we should go for it. He says that typically the 408 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 9: analytics expert him or her will say that on around 409 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 9: the first down, once they cross the fifty end special scenarios, 410 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 9: maybe sometimes in their own territory, and they're giving that 411 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 9: feedback on first down, so we know what to do 412 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 9: on fourth down. And so what happens with the update 413 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 9: is if you've predicted this to be a shootout and 414 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 9: no one's moving the ball kind of got to start 415 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 9: going off a field there, right, Or if you've an 416 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 9: entered a scenario fourth and four and you've already used 417 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 9: all your really good fourth and fourth place and they 418 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 9: have a beat on what you're doing on fourth and four, 419 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 9: that might change your confidence in your conversion probability in 420 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 9: those scenarios and ultimately in these fourth ones, and you're 421 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 9: gonna get models telling you to go for it. You 422 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 9: really need to have the QB sneak involved because that 423 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 9: changes the math so much that if you QB sneak 424 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 9: on fourth and one, it has a conversion probably in 425 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 9: league wider on seventy two percent. We know the push 426 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 9: push and Josh Allen is different and better. If you don't, 427 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 9: even if you run the ball, it's still around a 428 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 9: fifty four percent conversion prop So it changes the math 429 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 9: based on that play design. So if those plays aren't 430 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 9: working and you have to move off of it, it's 431 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 9: just as valuable as the weather changing or hey, we 432 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 9: expected something out of this Drake may offense that they're 433 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 9: not performing that way, it might change our decision making. 434 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: But if I have analytics, and you have analytics, chances 435 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: are they're gonna sync up. I know what you're doing 436 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: and you know what I'm doing. Don't they cancel each 437 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 2: other out? 438 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 9: No, because of how valuable field position is, and it's 439 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 9: why we're seeing lower scoring games, shorter games, and fewer drives. 440 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 9: When I did the rule book at the XFL, it 441 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 9: was twelve twelve and a half drives per game. It's 442 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 9: down to eleven drives per game. That might have seen 443 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 9: them a lot, but that's one fewer scoring opportunity because 444 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 9: we're having longer drives and you're starting in different field 445 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 9: position spots. You know, as good as the dynamic kickoff 446 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 9: is helping teams start closer, failed fourth down conversion inside 447 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 9: the five, you don't see those points on the scoreboard, 448 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 9: but when you look at the expected points, teams score 449 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 9: only probably three percent of the time when they start 450 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 9: inside their on five yard line. So it changes, Oh okay, 451 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 9: now you're likely to get the ball back in scoring position. 452 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 9: And that's what's going through the mind of Sean Payton, 453 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 9: because hey, even if I don't fail here, my defense 454 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 9: is playing great, I'll still likely get the ball back 455 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 9: on my own forty which is a great spot to start. 456 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. What would you have done in the moment? 457 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 2: What did you say in the moment on the fourth 458 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: in one call by the Broncos Well. 459 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 9: I was on a plane to London. That's where I'm 460 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 9: doing this call from. 461 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: Right now. 462 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 9: We started our innovation process, so I was on game cast, 463 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 9: couldn't get the game streaming. But I probably go fourth there. 464 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 9: It depends on the game plan. Jared Stidham. They felt 465 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 9: confident his running ability. 466 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 5: I hate that call, though, Sam I. 467 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 9: Hate it too. I would rather him have his own 468 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 9: read or something. But to me, I'm basing a lot 469 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 9: of my fourth and one decision off of QB sneak 470 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 9: and I really want to have it. It's why I 471 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 9: love the teams that use the giant tight end to 472 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 9: go in and do it, because you're not contingent on 473 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 9: the quarterback or putting the quarterback in danger to do it. 474 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 9: An Aj Barner, a Connor Hayward. Those scenarios I would 475 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 9: probably lean on. And when one of the beautiful things 476 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 9: about next Gen status is we actually see where the 477 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 9: ball actually was on TV. You're just going to see it, 478 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 9: says fourth and one, It's actually fourth and one plus 479 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 9: four or one point four yards. So because we're in 480 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 9: that little it's not an integer, it's not a solid 481 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 9: number on every time to go for it. That's probably 482 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 9: why they wanted to call the bootleg. But I also 483 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 9: don't like the call. When I would do the rules 484 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 9: of the XFL, I never would tell the coaches what 485 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 9: play to call because that's not my expertise. Right I 486 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 9: have certain things I like to do, but I'm not 487 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 9: a play caller or play a designer, and so I'm 488 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 9: gonna lean on Sean Payton for what he wants to do. 489 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 9: But he probably doesn't love the call either right now, No. 490 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: I don't think he does gut feeling over analytics. How 491 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: do you balance that? 492 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 9: I from my point of view, I lean heavily on 493 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 9: the analytics, and that drives my gut feeling. If you 494 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 9: watch Prime Vision in next Gen Stats, you're gonna hear 495 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 9: me talk about team tendencies and how they approach the game, 496 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 9: very similar how I prepared for games, all driven by 497 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 9: analytics and data. Where I think gut feeling can come 498 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 9: in is the same thing about those numbers. If I 499 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 9: know you aren't going to blitz from your numbers. It 500 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 9: can be a tendency and can beat me. If I 501 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 9: know that you're doing a tendency breaker in game, I 502 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 9: might change my thinking. 503 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: So I always and the Patriots did something different though, 504 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: because you had two linemen who came right through on 505 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 2: that play and the defensive back could have had an interception. 506 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: So they completely knew what was going on here exactly. 507 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 9: And that's where they're lining up in a unique formation 508 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 9: stop the sneak as well as give a tougher read 509 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 9: to the quarterback. And I think that's where first half 510 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 9: timeouts I don't really have too much. I'm not holding 511 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 9: onto them as much as I am for the second 512 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 9: half timeouts. So if you see something funky, we talk 513 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 9: about that all the time at Prime. It's like when 514 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 9: we have our red orbs show up and something funky's 515 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 9: going on, Like, hey, chill out a little bit, let's 516 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 9: take a breather before you just really dive in. 517 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 2: How much do you factor in the pressure of the 518 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: game That regular season is one thing, playoff game and 519 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: now Super Bowl Sunday. 520 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 9: What happens in football is so much of the game 521 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 9: is hinged on about six plays we play, have one 522 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 9: hundred and thirty scrimmage plays per game, about one hundred 523 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 9: and eighty plays total, and six plays may decide the game. 524 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 9: Just like been at the poker's table. You can win 525 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 9: over time playing small hands, but you get rich playing 526 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 9: the big hands. You could also bust. And I think 527 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 9: there's certain teams. If I'm a much better team and 528 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 9: i feel much better in my confidence, I'm gonna be 529 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 9: probably less likely to run more dangerous plays. Versus if 530 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 9: I'm the underdog in that scenario, I'm probably gonna hedge higher. 531 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 9: I'm putting all my chips in the table. 532 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 5: Did you play for Jim Harball? 533 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 9: I played three years for Jim and two years for 534 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 9: coach show David Shaw. 535 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 5: Okay, hardball buy into analytics. 536 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 9: Depends tendencies very much driven by it. So what Stanford 537 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 9: we had under Greg Roman, he started this was to 538 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 9: kill an alert system, and it was all based on 539 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 9: team tendencies and it all depended on what he thought 540 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 9: his team could do. 541 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: Great. 542 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 9: We had big Fangio Colin plays for this thing about 543 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 9: that Stanford football team. Like Vic Colin plays, you had 544 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 9: Andrew Luck. It was a funny meme from one of 545 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 9: the message boards saying Sam Schwartzen was only non millionaire 546 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 9: from that offense, so you know, go true and I 547 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 9: think you know that was a big focus on what 548 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 9: they wanted to do. But we also had a stellar defense, 549 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 9: and so he's bought in on anything that will help 550 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 9: him win. And I think that's that's the big thing 551 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 9: with him and Coach Shaw is a very similar way. 552 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 9: People would hate when Coach Shaw would punt from opponent territory, 553 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 9: But hey, we won the Rose Bowl, something Jim never did, 554 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 9: you know, So it is a big big deal for 555 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 9: how do I play it on my team strengths? 556 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: But you also were cheating then you would hike the 557 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: ball that you moved it up right. 558 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 9: So how do you move on and a half? 559 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 5: Okay, how do you do that? And nobody's calling you 560 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 5: on it. 561 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 9: I'm gonna have to show you next week, hopefully you 562 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 9: guys are in Santa Clara for San Francisco. But normally 563 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 9: what I would do is, it's crazy, it's short yard, 564 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 9: it's fourth down. Everyone's screaming going nuts. I would line 565 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 9: up with my feet parallel on top of the ball, 566 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 9: and as I'm calling the mic point out, I would 567 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 9: just move the ball forward too, and I would move 568 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 9: it out so I would extend my stands from my feet. 569 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 9: In the Fiesta Bowl, I got two off sides penalties 570 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 9: called on Oklahoma State. Didn't help us win the game 571 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 9: because the officials were like, they're lined up off sides, 572 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 9: but they lined up before I got set, and so 573 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 9: that's why they got called off sides. 574 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: But Notre Dame busted you. 575 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, Notre Dames. I remember being on the team plane 576 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 9: and we landed. I'm pretty excited. I'm captain in first class, excited. 577 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 9: We're going a couple of days early, and Coach Shaw says, hey, Samy, 578 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 9: I need you to stand on the plane. I gotta 579 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 9: talk to you. And I'm nervous. What could this be? 580 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 9: Did I flunk out of a class? I don't know 581 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 9: what I did. He's like, Notre Dame sent and thirteen 582 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 9: clips that you moveing. 583 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: The ball for it. We gotta fix it. 584 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 9: And Sean Hockerley made sure to yell at me every 585 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 9: single play that game and we lost in overtime. Not 586 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 9: that the scars are still there. 587 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Sam travels and hopefully we'll cross paths in 588 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: San Francisco. 589 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 9: How about going thanks stream come true? 590 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: All right? 591 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: Sam, Schwarzstein.

Because something blockbuster might? 616 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 4: No? 617 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 5: No, no, I'll get to that in a moment. 618 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: I just want to make sure all hands, Like I 619 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 2: never assume everybody's playing in a game now, it's it's unfortunate, 620 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: but I hope that they do. 621 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: They are. 622 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 10: It's not unfortunate. But isn't it sad? Isn't it said 623 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 10: that you even have to think about that? I mean, 624 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 10: we never thought about that back in the day. I 625 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 10: don't want to go down this route of out what 626 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 10: we did in my day. But it's sad that fans, 627 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 10: like yourself, because I consider you a fan of the 628 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 10: game as well, that fans would even be like, well, 629 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 10: who's going to be playing? 630 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 7: Is everyone going to be available? 631 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 10: You just didn't think about those things back in the day, 632 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 10: when you knew if someone had a legit injury, well 633 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 10: you knew they weren't playing. 634 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, but you know, when there's four games and. 635 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 10: Five nights, the availabilities of some stars, I don't know 636 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 10: if you'll get them those four games in those five nights. 637 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 5: But I don't know. 638 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: Like Giannis's injury, he's out, He's out tonight, Yeah, tonight, 639 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: but like four to six weeks, is that does he 640 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: play again for Milwaukee? 641 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 642 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 7: Look, I've been kind of scratching my head. 643 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 10: If you are a Bucks fan and you live in 644 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 10: the in the state of Wisconsin, could you have seen 645 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 10: Giannis's last game in a Bucks uniform. I hope not, 646 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 10: but look, there seems to be riding down the wall. 647 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 10: He's open to being traded again. He has not come 648 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 10: out and said I want to be traded, but you 649 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 10: hear the from the Buck side now that it may 650 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 10: be beneficial from their end as well to clear the 651 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 10: books and close this chapter. Again, we don't know. This 652 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 10: is all talk. This is all people just throwing out 653 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 10: ideas and you know, coming up with rumors and so forth. 654 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 7: But we know he won't be playing tonight. 655 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 10: What we do believe because Joelle and Paul George didn't 656 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 10: play and that's thrilling loss last night for the Sixers 657 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 10: versus the Hornets at one point down. 658 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 7: Fifty at the end of three. I believe we will 659 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 7: have Joel and Paul George in attendance tonight. 660 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 10: Wha, but they got to make up the difference versus 661 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 10: this under manned Milwaukee team. 662 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: We've been talking lot of analytics related to the Broncos loss, 663 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: and I'm curious when analytics came in to the NBA. 664 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 3: I'd believe. 665 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 7: Early to mid two thousands. 666 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 10: I think right as I was basically retiring, I think 667 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 10: people started to look at the stats more three versus two. 668 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 10: That's when you started to get threes, free throws and layups, 669 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 10: and the mid range game kind of started to become 670 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 10: a little bit more obsolete, and you started to play 671 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 10: more in space and pace. So I would say around 672 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 10: two thousand and five, six seven, and then it just 673 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 10: kind of took off from. 674 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 2: There because you don't have to encourage somebody to take 675 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: a three now, whereas when you were playing, you know, 676 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 2: if somebody took three threes in a game or four, 677 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: that felt like a lot. Now you might do that 678 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 2: in the first quarter. 679 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 7: A funny question. 680 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 10: Hall of Fame coach arguably one of the best coaches 681 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 10: I ever played for in Larry Brown. 682 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 7: He used to look at me crazy when I was. 683 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 10: Taking five to seven threes during that run from ninety 684 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 10: four to when he left, I believe in ninety seven 685 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 10: ninety eight, like he jumped all on me because I 686 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 10: was taking threes. 687 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 7: I mean, he was like living. 688 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 10: I just wonder what he would think about in today's games, 689 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 10: where I mean and it's not so much to me, 690 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 10: it's who's taking three. Yes, I mean, you've got sinners power. 691 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 10: Everyone's taking threes. It just is not the point guard 692 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 10: or the shooting guards. It's I mean, assistant coaches are 693 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 10: taking threes now from the bench. 694 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 2: I go back to Rick Batino at Providence when Billy 695 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: Donovan was one of his players. Rick is one of 696 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 2: the first coaches who ever embrace the three because he 697 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 2: had a small lineup and he shot the three. And 698 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: then I go back to Paul West had at Loyla Marymount. 699 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: They were going to run you and they'll give you 700 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: your two, but they're gonna come down and shoot the three. 701 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: Like these are two legendary moments coaching moments in history 702 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: and how they've affected the game. 703 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 10: I think we also have to throw Don Nelson in 704 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 10: there as well. 705 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 7: Run TMC. 706 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 10: They were kind of ahead of their schedule with Chris Malin, 707 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 10: Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway, Sharunas Marcellonis. 708 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 2: And also he didn't have to have a big man either. 709 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: He was the first coach who said, I don't need 710 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: to have six' eleven seven.
