Quote:I'm curious.  How exactly is this a "fluff piece" in your eyes?  Is it because you don't understand analytics, or the point of how they're using this data? 

 

I agree with the "fluff piece" description, as the author's have really zero insight into what actually occurs behind the inner workings of the NFL teams they reviewed.  Can you imagine Belichick, going "Oh, you're writing an article on how teams use Analytics! Sure come on in, and I'll explain exactly how our operation works!"  The authors review was based on some coach/GM speak to media questions and the amount of staff the authors guesses the FOs use.
