    great.... HCs using the best data available to assign days off practice instead of cutting those useless hacks that are only 60% of what they should be

    Don't be so hasty about wanting Eagles execs. The previous GM of the Dolts.. can't remember his name off-hand, messed up with hires and draft picks, which is a big part of why the Dolts now suck. He got canned last year.

    There's so many factors to consider for each 4th down.

    I'll say that teams would go on 4th and short a little more often but between distance, field position, score, time left, opponent, it can get really difficult putting together enough data for analytics experts to truly have a formula for going or not.

    Not really. That's why they have a general idea of when you should and shouldn't go for it before the season and this will be very detailed regarding score, field position, time left, time outs, blah blah blah. But they go beyond that DURING the game because of in game factors...how good your offense has or hasn't been going, injuries, blah blah blah.

    Analytics in football will almost always make a team be more aggressive because of the math. Contrary, analytics in baseball precludes you from stealing bases most of the time since the outs are so much more important unless you have a very high success rate.

    yeah an out on the bases is a crusher in baseball. Ruins most innings.

    Of course there are times when the risk is worth it because 1 run is that important.
