Thought I'd drop this here. Saw this guy run through my U Sask Huskies last night (and last year) like poop through a goose. The NFL is watching Canadian talent. Love it ... not the loss though!!

Apparently there was also an LA Chargers scout also at last night's game.

Canadian players can ball. https://3downnation.com/2024/09/14/...isaiah-knight-game-film-from-ubc-thunderbids/

A VERY good presentation of a modern Analytics department including its identity
- theoretical vs applied research
- humility, communication, collaboration
- critical importance of trust

Park shifted his career path in actuarial science to drive information-based decision making support within football. Regarded as future prospective NFL GM.



Seguing to the Oilers organizational transformation, one can hear the information based analytical strategic thinking mindset through all level of the organizations through interviews from Jackson, Bowman, Knoblauch, and Pracey. Watching the Young Stars tournament one intermission feature showed the Oilers group at the NHL Draft. Embedded within the heart of its scouting team was their Senior Director, Data & Analytics, Michael Parkatti.

This is the maturation of information based decision making in pro sports and Park gives an amazing testament to the humility (vs. arrogance) and team centred approach to work within these sport cultures. Worth a listen imo!

Saints collapse in the last minute. Another week of underdog wonders.

 

[timekeep]

Fields is in a good spot right now, most solid coach in the league, an O-line, play calling.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

And how about Sam Darnold reinventing himself in Minnesota? Wow.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Two possessions, two touchdowns for the Ravens on the road in Dallas. The Leafs of the NFL getting exposed once again for the frauds that they are.

Jerry Jones + Cowboys owner = continual meme generator

Dolphins killing QBs again, unfortunately it's their own.

Vegas throws their hat in the ring for the worst team in the league. That was brutal. Cowboys had a bad off season , losing key guys and it’s showing. Hate to see it.

 

[timekeep]

Nice to see the Rams keeping it close with the Niners. Both teams have major injuries.

What are the Ravens doing?

Typical Harbaugh coached team. Get up by a bunch, and just play it safe the rest of the way. What a choke job by the Niners. Wow.

I can’t wrap my head around the stupidity of today’s coaches. Dallas is trailing Baltimore by 22 points, that’s 3 scores. They score a touchdown to cut it to 16, if they kick a 1 point convert they trail by 15. They went for 2 and failed so now they need 2 touchdowns with 2 point converts to tie. They scored another touchdown and failed the 2 point conversion again. Now instead of being down 8 and within 1 score of tying the game they’re down 10 and need 2 scores to win. They just added the need for one more scoring drive unnecessarily by going for 2 at a time when it couldn’t win or tie the game for them yet anyway. This isn’t just a McCarthy thing either. I’ve been watching the thinking for this change in the CFL for years too and mocking its failures.

 

[Stoneman89]

And how about Sam Darnold reinventing himself in Minnesota? Wow.

Does this mean there might be hope for Zak Wilson at some point?

The Jets sure have a great record developing quarterbacks.

Geno Smith (2nd round pick) - now a very solid starter on Seattle.

Sam Darnold (3rd overall pick) - coming around finally for the Vikings

Zak Wilson (2nd overall pick) - traded to the Broncos - TBA

 

[Stoneman89]

Cowboys "scary defence" got destroyed once again today, and again, at home. Allowed over 270 rushing yards, as the Ravens gashed them time and again, and the secondary got eaten alive. Final score flattered them as the Ravens clearly took their foot off the gas and it nearly cost them. Have no idea how fat ass continues to keep his job.

It's tough being a 'Boys fan in these times.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Kirk Cousins is the Pete DeBoer of quarterbacks.

 

[bellagiobob]

And how about Sam Darnold reinventing himself in Minnesota? Wow.

It seems like he's been in the league for a long time, but he's actually younger than Burrow. Vikings do well with the reject QB's, something about their system or coaching.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Geez is this season ever unpredictable.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Niners with a huge choke job against the Rams lol

misery loves company

Continuing some of the QB discussion. Decent read on Trevor Lawrence (below). I watched this guy over his three years at Clemson and he is arguably the best college QB I've seen. Size, arm strength and touch to make all throws, athleticism, processor, run option.

Thought he was can't miss. Now his line quality hasn't been anywhere good around him which is a consideration in his uneven play. But his ball protection is bad with fumbles and at times tendency to force throws. Damn tough position with the step up to pro a very big leap.

Even Stroud hasn't come close to looking as good as he was last year. Other teams having a bunch of film on a guy can do that to him.

I’m not going to say that he’s in bust territory, but definitely underwhelming. You mention the good processor, haven’t seen much of it at the pro level. Makes way too many poor decisions at critical times. Much like his team, inconsistent and middle of the road. Thought his contract this summer was ridiculous, but they are all in on him at this point.
