We're working with a company called
00:00:01
Adrenaline, which Shawn Lee is a big
00:00:03
player there. Shawn Lee, the Cowboys
00:00:05
linebacker, if you remember, and they're
00:00:07
an analytics company. They've got real
00:00:09
time data coming in from NFL NextGen
00:00:12
Stats. And what they use it for is to
00:00:14
predict the probability of blitzes, run
00:00:16
pass, and target probability, and it's
00:00:20
dynamically updating. So, when a
00:00:22
linebacker starts to creep forward,
00:00:24
you'll see that blitz probability pop. I
00:00:26
found that to be really cool, especially
00:00:28
if you look just trends over game. We
00:00:29
did the San Francisco game a few weeks
00:00:31
ago, not this last week, but a few weeks
00:00:33
ago, and in the first half, everything
00:00:36
was singledigit blitz probability. They
00:00:38
were just 8 9% blitzing. And I don't
00:00:40
know if they blitzed at all in the first
00:00:41
half. And then suddenly in the second
00:00:44
half, it was 40% or 45% or 50% and they
00:00:49
were blitzing more. And to me, that was
00:00:51
cool as someone that it just I I just
00:00:54
need the numbers sometimes to highlight
00:00:56
this. And even though it was
00:00:57
predictable, it was clearly showing a
00:00:59
shift in mentality that they had from
00:01:01
early in the game to later in the game.
