I used to be known as a numbers guy. My work was, and still remains to an extent, based around knowing and understanding football statistics. My analysis mainly entailed applying stats while practically describing the defense in an understandable manner. I’m confident and honest enough to admit that the game has passed me by in some ways. I don’t understand, nor do I care to, regurgitate advanced analytics. It’s a bit too much for me and I remain steadfast in believing that experience, gut feelings, and understanding the game is more effectual than relying on a computer to spit out strategy or influence critical in-game decisions.
