The #Dolphins and GM Chris Grier have mutually parted ways, per sources.

When the radio teased, "news out of Miami", I thought McDaniel was fired.  I guess the only surprise here is that Grier went first.

 

I would think they flush everybody and start over.

 

I think that the Coach should have a huge say in who their GM is.  The GM and the coach have to be on the same page and the GM has to understand it isn't about just drafting and signing talented players, but how do those players fit the scheme that the coach is running.

Jags always there to make sure titans fans have something even when things are as low as you can(currently) imagine.

Hunter reportedly suffered a non contact knee injury at practice yesterday and the Jags are still determining whether he has a chance to return this season.

I should probably start a separate topic for it but I kind of don't give a shit so ... here's a fun video on game theory and why offenses don't pass the ball 100% of the time and why defenses play a run defense even though stopping the run is less vital / advantageous (yards-wise) than stopping the pass.

 

In other words, it uses math to show how and why running does set up the pass ... just not necessarily in the way that people tend to discuss it. If you've ever really thought it through, you might already be aware of this but I certainly don't get the impression from reading this forum that most people have actually thought it through ... or are capable of independently thinking it through without assistance like this video.

 

And, yes, it's only 20 to 30 minutes long so it's only going to present a certain level of detail, especially because it's clearly tailored to having to educate people who know nothing about math or stats or ... anything. But it's a start and establishes the concept rather securely. Also, as is said in the video, not every play situation is the same and not every player is the same and not every team is the same and there's a million variables which render decisions far more complex than this surface-level assessment.

 

Blah blah blah, just shut up and watch the video.

 

 

Lmfao the fact you haven’t naturally thought like this while being condescending to those who also haven’t naturally thought like this.

 

Welcome to the club.

lmao. Hilarious....

 

While the vid does a decent job of using math to explain offensive efficiency, his conclusion is wrong. The data overwhelmingly shows teams should pass more. This really only changes when teams get into the redzone and the field is condensed which allows defenses to defend the pass better. The rush success rate inside the 10 skews the overall data and thats how you get to that 56/44 run/pass rate as being the most efficient if you graph it. 

 

In the end, this is not a new way of thinking. Its been the norm for a long time, completely backed up by the Playaction debate the past 5 years. At least this dude dumbed it down for the likes of jamal!

I hadn’t watched the video yet. In general I agree with what you’ve said.

They have.. you won't though which is to be expected.

I’d love to see data re: short passing (<5 yards) vs runs..
