He 18 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: had big plans, but you're stuck with me and Kurt. 19 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: But hearing about probably twenty minutes ish. Ten minutes, Yeah, 20 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: we're ten minutes. We're gonna have Tom Robinson on. We 21 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: don't really know what his title is, but we do 22 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: know I like Douglas's title for him. What was that, Douglas? Hey, hey, 23 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: Mick Wizard, I know we don't have anybody today, come 24 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: on here if you want. Ye see, nobody wants to 25 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: hang out with us with MAT's not here. So Tom 26 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: will be in and a football analytics guy. And I'm 27 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: actually really interested because I know I've known Tom for 28 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: a long time. He actually started out I believe, over 29 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: in DCM and it whenever I was I think, I 30 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: think so, I think that's where I know him from. 31 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: So he's been around for a while. And then he 32 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: now runs the whole analytics operation for the team, and 33 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see like what they're able to track 34 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: and what they're doing with that information, and how are 35 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: they sharing it across the league or how all that 36 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: stuff works out. So it's pretty pretty top secret info, 37 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: some of that stuff, I bet it is. I'm wondering 38 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: how much he's gonna be able to tell us. That's 39 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting. I feel kind of bad because 40 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: I've I've seen. I had never placed the name. I 41 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: don't know Tom very, I don't know him at all, 42 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: so if he walks in here, you don't well see, 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: I think I figured out. I've seen this guy walking 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: around who I didn't know who was, and I've heard 45 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: the name Tom, and I think I finally put the 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: name with the face and so um tall skinny guy. Yeah, yeah, 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: I actually walked by him yesterday and oh he was 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: with Chris and I looked at him. I think I 49 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: think that's Tom. But I'm looking forward to hearing the 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: story there. Yeah, so cool. So we will have him 51 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: here in a little bit. In the meantime, we need 52 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: your help because we have no poss we have no Nate. 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: It's just me and Kurt and we're not that interesting. 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: So we need your phone calls.

You know, 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: I have big plans. She doesn't listen to the show. 73 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: She doesn't even know how to use Twitter, so it 74 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. She won't hear this. You know. Yeah, my 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: everything's pool don't worry about it, you know. Yeah, you know, 76 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: keep a brave face. But you know what, guys, everything's 77 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna be pooled this week. Last week, I'm gonna be honest, 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: I didn't even try to get through last week because 79 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just had a bad feeling about 80 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: the game. I didn't have a good gut feeling, you know. 81 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: But this week I have a good gut feeling We're 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna take care of business this week. We're gonna win 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: the divisions because I noticed details. And at the end 84 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: of that game last week, what I noticed is when 85 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: we lost and the player started shaking hands, there was 86 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: no smiling. Everybody looked like they were ready to kill somebody. 87 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: Everybody was mad. Okay, as opposed to other teams they 88 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: lose a game. Yeah, yeah, they're all smiling this, that 89 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: and the other. You know, you know how they do 90 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: up with powboys. Unless I miss something, they weren't smiling. Okay. 91 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: I like that DeMarcus Lawrence's quote. They got hit in 92 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: the mouth, they're ready to hit the opponent in the mouth. Now, Well, 93 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: that's what you know. That's what toughness is. Toughness is 94 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: not defined by how much of a beating you can 95 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: this show. Toughness is defined by how much of a 96 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: beating you can take and if you can bounce back 97 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: up off the mat when it happens, whether the ball 98 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: or life. Okay, we're gonna take care of business this week. 99 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: I have my good gut feeling. I just know that 100 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: it's coming. And there's also a very special girl coming 101 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: to the scheme. Her name is Lowa. You know who 102 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: Loa is. We do not, of course you don't. It's 103 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: a rhetorical question. Lola is the law of averages? Now, 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: unless I miss my guess, we haven't scored on defense 105 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: since last year at Washington. Okay, we are so overdue. 106 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: How you know our defense has been strong? How we 107 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: have not gotten the ball that's been tipped and we've 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: run it into the end zone, or how a fumble 109 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: just hasn't come our way at the opponent's twenty and 110 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: we walk in that. You know that that will happen 111 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: this week. I mean, because dance is good for those 112 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: and the guys are all business and you know Dak, 113 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're all you know, he's a guy with 114 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of fortitude, you know. And last week the 115 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: game and just it just it's just there's no such 116 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: thing as a good loss. But it does help you 117 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: to refocus, especially if he played the game. You know, 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: you do get a little copy because it's happened to me, 119 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: you know. But everything's gonna be fine this week. Guys. 120 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to take up all your time. You 121 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: already did, Jay, he took up We gotta go. The 122 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: podcast is over all, right, I love you guys, brother 123 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: Christmas love you too. Man. Thanks for calling. We win 124 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: this week. I will call up next week and sing 125 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: amri the right way? All right, all right, I hold 126 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: you to it. All right, Jay, have a good one. 127 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: You worried about this game, Kirk? You know, I guess 128 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be because seven and a half point spread? 129 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: Is it? Seven? I thought it was higher than that. Um. Yeah, 130 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: they're big favorites. And that bothers me, does it? Because 131 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a closer game than than 132 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: seven and a half. Yeah, that Tampa's defense is just 133 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: so bad. I guess my worry is if if we 134 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: have to outscore them, you know, if we if we 135 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: have to put up thirty points too, right, you know, 136 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: can you keep up? They get it if they get 137 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: a lead on you, you know, they they're I think 138 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: we talked yesterday about it. They put up a lot 139 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: of points even in losses, but they haven't the last 140 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: two games. They faced New Orleans and Baltimore. Both teams 141 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: have pretty good defenses, and they didn't do much against them. 142 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: So hopefully that continues and our defense steps up and 143 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: takes care of business. Yeah, Chris and Connecticut. What's up, buddy, 144 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Hey guys, how you doing great? How are you? I'm 145 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: doing pretty well. I want to wish you guys are 146 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: very merry Christmas, Happy New Years and all that kind 147 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: of jazz. Yes, Sarah, you too. Hey. Um, I guess 148 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: I was first of all I wanted to say the 149 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: other day I called in and made the comment about 150 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: it's not rocket science, and I didn't want to implay 151 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: it's not a complicated game. I just meant, not rocket science. 152 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: You should use zeke. That's it. No point, hey, point 153 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: was well taken. Nate talked about that for two days 154 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: after that. He was like, man, that dude just just simple, 155 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: just like simplified everything. It's not that hard. So hey, 156 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: give it a try, right, that's right, that's right. Hey, Hey, 157 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: I guess my question I had a question for you guys. 158 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: I mean, um, you know, my worst nightmare, even before 159 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: the Indidiapolis scheme, is thinking that we're gonna have to 160 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: go into New York or they're gonna have to go 161 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: into New York and win it to get in. And uh, 162 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about the defensive performance, you know, 163 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: starting in the fourth quarter against Philly, it's been five 164 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: really bad quarters. Do you think there's something there or 165 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: or or was just a complete they were due to 166 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: just due to have a bad game. I personally think 167 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: they just got the crap beat out of them. They 168 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: got they got overmatched. There's it's just like boxing or UFC. 169 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just sometimes it's a bad matchup for your team. 170 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: And I think Indie was just a terrible matchup, especially 171 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: with the injuries they have. They I think they just 172 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: got it was just a butt kicking. Yeah, I don't. 173 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: I think the intensity just wasn't quite there. They were 174 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: riding that five game streak and Indie's backs against the wall. 175 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: They've got to win and get in for sure, we 176 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: kind of had a game to play with. And yeah, 177 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: I just don't think they matched intensity, especially, I mean 178 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: the first half was closed, but when Colts came out 179 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: and over right down the field to open the third up, 180 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: it was done. Yeah. And you know, if I know 181 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: anything about who is this? Who is this? Rod Marinelli? 182 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Who is this?

You know, 189 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: non bet and I know that he's probably getting the 190 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: Marinelli Madness video like you have never because they're playing 191 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay this weekend. That is the team that he 192 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. That is his squad that he 193 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: knows he has to win again.

And yeah, national geographic footage, yeah, it's right, 199 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: really horrid national geographic footage with Pete with with player 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: human heads on animals and like things like that. Very 201 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: Grifins nickname started from that used to have people like 202 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: he would literally ask for highlights of orphans digging up ditches. Yeah, 203 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: that was and it's and it's it fires the players up. 204 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: They love it. It's it's awesome, and he really puts 205 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: time and energy into it. Works with one of our 206 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: video editors here to like give feedback and do different things. 207 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: So it's it's pretty awesome. One time I watched it 208 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: with him too, and you'd think that normal people would 209 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: be laughing and kind of like thinking like, oh, this 210 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: is crazy. He gets so intense into it. He's like 211 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: and this is you know, I'm looking at my guy. Um. 212 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to say Antoine Wood's real nick name 213 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: on here, but yeah, yeah, he's very similar to Nick Hayden's. Yes, 214 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: if you remember a few years ago. Yeah, So so 215 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: there you go, Chris, I think he's here.

I can't figure 221 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: this team out for the life of me. Yeah. Well, 222 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm really nervous that they're gonna have to go and 223 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: Washington to New York.

You practice with the same intensity bring to 228 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: the game. I wondered if I haven't been out to practice, 229 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: but I wondered if they Well, I heard that pads. 230 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: I heard last week they had like a great practice 231 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: week and that. But then I know, but then sometimes 232 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: like that will affect you in the game because you'll 233 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: be a little bit overconfident instead of the feeling of 234 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: like I need to really come out and bring it 235 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: my best, where you're like, god, I've been crushing it 236 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: this week.

You've been around, 303 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: how you've been with the organization. So I've been with 304 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys dating back to two thousand and I think 305 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: tellousand nine. Okay, so you've been around a while. Yeah. 306 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: So I came on board around the time that m 307 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium it is under construction, okay, And 308 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: initially worked with the team as a consultant and worked 309 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: on a number of projects related to the to the 310 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: opening of the stadium, and then kind of came came 311 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: on board full time about m after a year into 312 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: the stadium being open, okay, and then kind of moved 313 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: into my current role on the football side. I think 314 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: this is my fifth season. How did you go from it? 315 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: Sounded like you were Wait, let's preface the whole conversation. First. 316 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: We we don't really know what Tom does. We know 317 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: what he does, but we don't really know how in depth. 318 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: So we're going to ask him a bunch of questions 319 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: that we probably shouldn't ask. Yeah, we are, and he's 320 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: gonna tell us, Hey, no, I can't answer that, or 321 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable answering that, or I'm not telling you. 322 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: So Tom, you just you keep us at arms linked 323 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: where you need to.

How did you transition into 351 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: becoming sort of this football analytics really in depth kind 352 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: of stuff for the for the football department. Sure. Yeah. 353 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: So my my background kind of both educationally and professionally 354 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: has always been data in analytics. And so I worked 355 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: for a number of years as a consultant um kind 356 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: of working with you know, larger companies Fortune five hundred 357 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: and whatnot on business intelligence, analyt kind of data warehousing. Um, 358 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: excuse me, Uh so, missus Jones not a Fortune five 359 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: hundred company. He's he's pretty ahead of them. I'm sorry, 360 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 1: he's at Fortune five hundred companies, that Fortune five hundred people. Okay, 361 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, for real, give me someone that. Yeah. 362 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: And so, you know, I got an opportunity to, I guess, 363 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: work with data see a lot of different business models, 364 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: and you know, I always had been fascinated by sports 365 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: and analytics, and you know, passionate football fan wanted to 366 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of marry the two together and coming on board 367 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. I felt like I very fortunate to 368 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: come on board at a good time because football analytics 369 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: is something that's just starting to take off, and so 370 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't like there's this you know, big, kind of talented, 371 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: experienced workforce out there that has all this knowledge that 372 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: that you can draw from. So kind of jumped on 373 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: an opportun and indeed to kind of move over to football, 374 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of work on analytics, dive deep into the data 375 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: and kind of have been enjoying it ever since. Is 376 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: it hard to I mean football is kind of a 377 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: very old school like baseball. Is it hard to convince 378 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: people to pay attention to these new stats? Football? People 379 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: probably think math is magic black magic, yes, oh speaking 380 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: of me, But anyway, yeah, I think as as I've 381 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: gone through the years, it every year it becomes easier 382 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: and easier. I think, you know, are I feel very 383 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: lucky that, you know, I work for a ownership team 384 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: and a head coach that that really kind of seek 385 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: knowledge and kind of want to see what the numbers 386 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: are telling us about decisions that we're making, you know, 387 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: be that um personnel decisions. You know, who were who 388 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: were kind of pursuing in the draft, you know kind 389 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: of what we're doing kind of you know, with game management, 390 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: what kind of what are some of the numbers that 391 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: you can tell that you're that you guys, you really 392 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: dive into UM. So I'll try to kind of stay 393 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: within the bounds of what I've what has already been 394 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: said publicly about what we're doing. But you know, one 395 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: thing that we do and a lot of other clubs 396 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: are doing, is you know, we closely monitor our player 397 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: workloads during practice, and so our goals in doing that 398 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: are what we kind of multiple goals. One is you know, 399 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: we want the UM you freshest, fastest, kind of most 400 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: athletic products that we can put on the field on Sundays. 401 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: And if you look at kind of the character of 402 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: our team, you know we are going to try to 403 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: play fast, We're going to try to play physical. We 404 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: have players, you know, come to our team from from 405 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: other you know, professional teams, and they always comment about 406 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: just the intensity of our practice, and so I think 407 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do is keep an eye on that. UM. 408 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: We want to push our team hard, you know, we 409 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: want to develop some of those qualities that carry over 410 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: to Sunday. But we're trying to do so kind of 411 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: in a in a very kind of practical, controlled sort 412 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: of way. So it's kind of within that realm of 413 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: high performance. You know, how do you uh, you know, 414 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: kind of keep your foot on the gas but then 415 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: kind of not overdo it. So are you measuring like distance, 416 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: run and heart rate? Like what all kind of I 417 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: don't know how much you can share, but like, what 418 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: are some things that you guys are like tracking that 419 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: that you can let us know about. Sure, now I 420 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: think you've you've hit on a couple of them. Yeah, 421 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: So we're looking at you know, distances that players have covered. 422 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: We're looking at um, some some biometric data, you know, 423 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: heart rate, heart rates, something we have just kind of 424 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: started to explore. Um, We're getting into a lot of 425 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: kind of distances covered at certain velocities, and you know, 426 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: we want to we want to keep a close eye 427 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: on kind of that explosive those explosive efforts that players 428 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: are going through in practice. Yeah, because those are the 429 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: efforts that kind of best prepare them for Sunday but 430 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: also take the most put the most wear and tear 431 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: on the body. Yeah, how much do you work with 432 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: the draft process, Like, are you looking at guys that 433 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: are still in college right now. Obviously you can't go 434 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: to their practices and do that. But how much are 435 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: you working to find the right guys during the draft. Yeah, 436 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: so kind of myself in my department. You know, we 437 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: wear a lot of different hats. I fall under our 438 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: scouting department, and so I kind of look at one 439 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: of my primary areas of responsibility being the draft. The 440 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: draft and kind of preparing for it, you know. So 441 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: we're gathering as much data as we can. You know, 442 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: so a lot of stuff people know about, you know, 443 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: college stats and production and uh, you know, combine and 444 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: pro day measurements, and you know, we're interviewing players and 445 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: kind of you know, doing our own draft evaluations, and 446 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: of course we have our own you know, models that 447 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: we're putting together to study all this and try to 448 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: tie it all together. So that surprises me how much 449 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: internally you're using the numbers for our own team. I 450 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: kind of assumed you were charting and tracking other your 451 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: opponents coming up. I mean, I assume there's some of 452 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: that involved in there. Oh, that's that's definitely true as well. 453 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: So do you guys share info with other teams across 454 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: the league, is there like a you have to give 455 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: this information to the league wide or you know, the 456 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: league does a great job of disseminating a common set 457 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: of data and information to all the teams about the players. Yeah, 458 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: so about so like the next gen stats that the 459 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: league's now putting out, they have a website. I think 460 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: that you go to that puts that that's something that 461 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: the league mandates. That is something that's now shared kind 462 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: of league wide, and that was a big development for 463 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: us this offseason. We for the first time this year, 464 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: we're able to see player tracking data for all thirty 465 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: two teams and both sides of the ball. So in 466 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: seasons passed, you know we had player tracking data, we 467 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: would only see it for our own offense or our 468 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: own defense. So it makes it hard to do some 469 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: of the more advanced analysis you want to do. You know, 470 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: like if you're trying to look at the interaction between 471 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: a receiver and a defensive back, you know, to try 472 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: to calculate separation on a route, you know, you can't 473 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: do that without both sides of the ball. But we're 474 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: now getting that and I think over the next several 475 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: years you're going to see all kinds of new insight 476 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: I think emerge you know within you know NFL front offices, 477 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: but also in the public you know. So yeah, I 478 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: think I see some great work being done on side 479 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: psyche ESPN. You know, if you look at some of 480 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: the work of somebody like Brian Burke, you know he's 481 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: looking at that the sports science guy. No, No, he's 482 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: he's more of a data analytics football analytics in particular, 483 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: but kind of looking at past protection and um, you know, 484 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: defensive linemen, how they're rushing, and starting to use that 485 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: player tracking data to quantify some of those those numbers. 486 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: My question is your workload is more when when do 487 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: you have the biggest workload throughout the season? Yes, throughout 488 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: the season, through the whole year, when your draft, offseason, 489 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: what you like, what you're what you're big it. I'll 490 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: say it never really slows down for us. Yes, you know, 491 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: the NFL is kind of our year round business. And 492 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: you know, within my group's kind of area of responsibility 493 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: or areas of responsibility. You know, we're focused on UM scouting, 494 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: you know, so that's both um you know, pro scouting 495 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: for free agency and college scouting for the draft. UM. 496 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: You know, we're also helping our coaches with kind of 497 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: advanced work on opponents. Um. You know, in addition, we 498 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: have a big kind of sports science focus, UM also 499 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: working with you know, with the sports science piece kind 500 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: of working with strength and conditioning. So you excited about 501 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: a facet of what you do. So are you excited 502 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: about even the smallest pieces? Huh oh for sure? Yeah. 503 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: I think are you like a numbers nerd completely? Do 504 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: you just yea, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he's excited 505 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: about even the smallest integral parts of it, you know, 506 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: as well as the big part. Yeah. Do you think 507 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: it'll football will ever get to where and this made 508 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: me think of it when you set a dB going 509 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: against a wide receiver. Do you think it'll ever get 510 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: to the point where it gets so analytical that, you know, 511 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: in the about halfway through the third quarter, this guy 512 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: gets a little bit more tired by looking at the 513 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: numbers that they're sharing across the league, and then you 514 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: can exploit those matchups. I'm sure there's I don't know 515 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: if the league would ever because that would almost be 516 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: a competitive advantage or something. But do you think it'll 517 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: ever get to where it's that analytical where you can 518 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: do things like that, you know, I don't know. I 519 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: think that's really difficult to say. Like the I think 520 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: one thing that could play a part in it kind 521 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: of like you're saying, is just kind of the what 522 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: the competition committee prefers, because it's it is possible that 523 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: the league could could make a decision to share kind 524 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: of real time player tracting data, you know, on during 525 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: a game, and then at that point, you know, maybe 526 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: teams would try to take advantage just some knowledge like that. Yeah, 527 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: Well as reading something just this week that I thought 528 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: was interesting just um is in an article and it 529 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: was kind of throwaway comment, but the article made mention 530 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: that a team's trying to you know, kind of I 531 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: guess run more plays on that I guess go towards 532 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: their own sideline to kind of tire up ye posing 533 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: defensive line on substitutions to make them run further. Yeah, 534 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: what's the staff that you see and guys starring Nate 535 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: that you see primarily, you know, over and over with 536 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: really successful athletes like oh, you know, if this guy 537 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: has you know, this range or whatever begins, Yeah, like 538 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: you know that that means like they have some ounce 539 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: of success aheaded for them. You know, I think we're 540 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: we're always kind of pursuing value, you know, with I 541 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: think the way that we think about improving our team, 542 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: and I'll kind of say, I don't think we want 543 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: to like marry ourselves to any single metric, but we're 544 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: trying and to look at a number of different areas. 545 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: So we want guys that are big and fast and 546 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: explosive and Nate Knew smart and instinctive and and come 547 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: from big programs, you know, like you're your ideal if 548 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: you could, you know, kind of write it down on 549 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: paper and say this is exactly what we want. We 550 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: want guys that have, you know, all these great qualities 551 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: that they're smart, and they learn things quickly, and they 552 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: have the right football character. Cooper, Yeah, Cooper's perfect example. Well, 553 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, to the numbers thing. I noticed the other 554 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: night when I was watching the seventy six ers place, 555 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: somebody it was talking about Joel and Bed and then 556 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, and just simple numbers sometime because his numbers 557 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: in the first half are just off the chart versus 558 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: the second half, and they saying, is it the team 559 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: around him? Is it that he gets a little fatigued? 560 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: So whether we do it first, other other uh sports 561 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: are working on the same thing. Baseball has to come. 562 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: So like, what what do you think it's like in 563 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: baseball get critics of saying it's too too much analytics? 564 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Now do you how do you feel about that? Do 565 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: you think football could risk that kind of thing? Um? 566 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: I think baseball just the nature of the interaction between 567 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: a picture and hitter, you can very much kind of 568 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: isolate that interaction and it lends itself so well to 569 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: all kinds of analytical work. So I think it's you're 570 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: almost hurting yourself if you're not, you know, kind of 571 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: pursuing analytics heavily. There our sports not there yet, and 572 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: I'll be the first to admit that. You know, it's 573 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: there's too many interactions when you have eleven different guys 574 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: on each side of the ball, you know, kind of 575 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: squaring off, and of course they all have their own 576 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: responsibilities and there's just an infinite number of interactions that 577 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: take place there. You know, we will never be able 578 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: to I think, you know, kind of isolate things the 579 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: same way you can in baseball. But I like that 580 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: aspect Versupoort. I think it makes it more challenging to 581 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: do analytics and football. And I've talked to folks from 582 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: other sports that are doing you know, kind of work 583 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: at the highest levels, and they'll say the same thing. 584 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: They're like, and football is the toughest. You know, I 585 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: don't know how y'all do it, but they Yeah, So 586 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: I think the pioneers, you know, you can say, we're 587 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: in baseball and basketball is kind of really move the needle. Lately, 588 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: basketball there's three point them. Nobody's taking tools anymore because 589 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: if you hit thirty five percent of your threes, and 590 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: you can hit forty percent or forty five percent of 591 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: your tools, and you still lose the game. So that analytics, 592 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, Charles Barkley got mad because they brought analytics 593 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: into the game. But they're gonna find a way. Believe me, 594 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL will find a way. What do you, 595 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: as a former player who had none of these kind 596 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: of stats, you know when you were in the game, 597 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: what do you How do you feel about this? Oh, 598 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: it's all good with me because the bottom line is 599 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: is you better than me? Are you? Are you better 600 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: than me? When in a sixty minute game, when I 601 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: line up against the great Devons of I'm who gonna 602 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: win the battle. Now you can have the numbers that 603 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: say that you the better at three, that you got 604 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: you more condition, you will get tired, so I start 605 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: leaning on you. I Okay. We were talking to Jesse 606 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: Holly earlier today and he was saying, like noon games 607 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: really do affect the players more than I think people think. 608 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: And he was talking more about like your days start 609 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: so much earlier, you have to kind of like adjust 610 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: your routine, your sleep schedule and especially different on you know, 611 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: road games in at home. Is that something that you 612 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: guys look at to like sleep schedules and kind of 613 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: like just daily routines. Yeah, I will openly man, I'm 614 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: not our expert on that topic. Oh but there is 615 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: like should be Scott Center. He actually said he would 616 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: come on the show. Would just need to ask he's 617 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: our nutritionist, is that? Oh but he looks at like 618 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: sleep and stuff too. Yeah, So his his focus areas 619 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: are kind of nutrition and then kind of recovery, and 620 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: so he's deeply focused on on sleep and kind of 621 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: those aspects of what we're doing. So see look at 622 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: Tom doing your job where you Kurt. He's booking guests 623 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: and he's been on the show twenty minutes. You've been 624 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: on the show for two years and I'm ahead of you, 625 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: So I'm linking these guys. But question, So that's Douglas, 626 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: by the way, behind that wall stream, it's not God. Yeah. 627 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: So you're talking about there's the analytics aspect of UH 628 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: from the basketball perspective, the baseball perspective, how advanced they are, 629 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: and then what Shannon was talking about earlier, which is 630 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: how fatigue somebody might get in the third or fourth quarter. 631 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: And I know I've read like four hundred meters eight 632 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: hundred meter sprint athletes. I've I've seen interviews with their 633 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: coaches and the sprinters and the way they've got their 634 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: conditioning and strategies for those races down. Sounds like that's 635 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: the direction Shannon was going. I don't know if you're 636 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: familiar with that at all. So what's your question, Douglas, Well, 637 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: is that are those related? I'll tell you good talk. 638 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks for jumping in there, Douglas. Now with 639 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: it within that realm of sports science, I've I've kind 640 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,919 Speaker 1: of taught um I guess as a professor at Northwestern 641 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of in their program for kind of sports analytics 642 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: and that's where you graduated from, right. I did graduate 643 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 1: from there for grad school, but um, you know kind 644 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: of some of the associations I've had there professionally as 645 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: well as so kind of that academic side of the world. 646 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: But then I would also say there's kind of an 647 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: applied kind of sports science community out there, if you will, 648 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: And I think this group will kind of meet at 649 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: conferences and conventions pretty regularly and kind of draw inspiration 650 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: from one another. And I think where you'll see a 651 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: lot of the innovation come from kind of like Douglas 652 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: was saying, is you know the kind of the Olympic bodies. 653 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: You know, we'll we'll invest heavily and kind of the 654 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: best method and tools for measuring things and for developing athletes. 655 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: And and then I think, you know, we on the 656 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: team side a lot of times will kind of draw 657 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: inspiration from those guys. It's a lot of times, you know, 658 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: stuff will get handed down from say an Olympic body, 659 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: you know, to a team setting, and a lot of 660 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: times it may not even be you know, our team sport, 661 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: but it might be soccer or rugby, and it will 662 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: get applied there and more research will happen. So there's 663 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of a nice interplay between kind of the academic 664 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: side of the world and kind of applied side. And 665 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: so I would say all the time that we're kind 666 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: of drawing inspiration from one another. Now that the nature 667 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: of those sports are different. You know, we're we're such 668 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: a start and stop sport. You know, we uh, you know, 669 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: go through the line of scrimmage, you know, plays run, 670 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: there's you know, ten seconds of you know, sprinting all 671 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: out you know, frantic activity, and then we go huddle 672 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: again and it stops. You know. So it's a little 673 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: different than say a sport like soccer, where it's kind 674 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: of a you know, continuous flows. For basketball's you know, 675 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: more of that lucky yeah, hockey they're continuously skating up 676 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: and down the down the ice or track, where it's 677 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: more of an all out run. But but we I 678 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: think you can borrow things from all the different sports. 679 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: Do you ever look at like players, like after they 680 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: have injuries and compare some of their stats to see like, 681 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, oh, this guy you know towards a CL 682 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: or mcl and now he's coming back, this is what 683 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: he used to do, this where he is now, Like 684 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: compare historical data before and after an injury. Yeah. I 685 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: don't want to get into specifics about kind of the 686 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 1: way that we do those things, but I would say 687 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: we definitely do yeah, and we we were kind of, 688 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: I think pioneers in our efforts to kind of start 689 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: to introduce new technology to to kind of player tracking. 690 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: So one of the systems that a lot of teams 691 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: will use as Catapult, and we were one of the 692 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 1: first kind of North American customers. So we consider ourselves 693 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: lucky that we were because now we have a ton 694 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: of historical data and we can look back, you know. 695 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: But some other teams don't necessarily, Yeah, teams that are 696 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: newer to it, Yeah, they haven't accumulated as much, so 697 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: they don't have data on players throughout their careers or 698 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: over multiple seasons, you know, so they're not I guess 699 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: the more daddy you collect, the more you can do 700 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: with it. And so we've we feel lucky that we 701 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: have so much ahead of the game. It sounds like 702 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: I think I think we were in that regard. I 703 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: would have loved to have seen, like over the years 704 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: with Jason Witten, to see like how some of his 705 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: stats would have changed, like especially because he always kept 706 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: the same intensity. You know, people always talk about like, oh, 707 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: he goes at every practice the same, but just like 708 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: to see how age might have affected that. Yeah, he 709 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: was wearing tear on your body. I won't say specifically 710 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: anything about how his performance numbers because I could get 711 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: myself in tronic, but there's going to be a statute 712 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: of mutations on that at some point. Though. He was 713 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: the model with consistency though. I mean, you know, more 714 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 1: so than probably any player we've ever had. He would 715 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: show up, you know, to work each a you know, 716 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: never miss a you know, a rep in practice. And 717 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: that was just kind of his his model for for 718 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 1: as long as I was here, and he he long 719 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: predates me. They said his forty time was didn't really 720 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: diminish much over his career. Quit trying to get tom 721 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: in trouble my mind time did you ever run a 722 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: forty or did you get to ten? He said he 723 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: could beat anybody the first two guards. He was faster. 724 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: I could. It was its documented, bro. But but anyway, 725 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: my friend, Uh, I'm glad you came. Man. Yeah, man, 726 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: this is awesome. Yeah to have you on again. I'm 727 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: sure after we digest this a little bit, we'll be like, Oh, 728 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: we should have asked him do this, We should ask 729 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: one more question. Last question he's got to go is uh, 730 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: the stats say should rarely punt. You believe that? Do 731 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: you think that's the that's true? I'm not. I'm not 732 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: gonna come like a lot of trouble on that way. Yeah. 733 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing about that st because the people 734 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: been on that for years that you should rally punt, 735 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: but they never factor in that time that that you 736 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: don't punt and don't make it. Yeah, and then all 737 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: of a sudden you gave the team seven points. They 738 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: never talked about that. But this is most of the 739 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: reason I didn't say anything, because it's most I've asked. 740 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: Kurt could have asked anybody something. Oh I'm fascinated by this. 741 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: So he's a numbers nerds, So you're not fascinated by 742 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: concrete cowboys shows and stuff like that, or me and Nate. 743 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 1: There's too much craziness going on there. I just let 744 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: a game you have literally talked to Tom Moore on 745 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: this show, that you have talked to me and Nate 746 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: the past year, is to see the best Kurt. Yeah, Yeah, 747 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: this is Kurt's best version of himself today he's been 748 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: listening to Garrett's being the best version of himself. Well, Tom, 749 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: this was awesome. Man. We know you're busy.

We knew 856 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: that we were moving over to the start and wanted 857 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: it to be live too, right, wanted it to be live, 858 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: wanted it to have like it was, it's only fifteen minutes. 859 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: It's still's only like fast paced high tan.
