I have no sources but I think it's his unless he totally effs up today lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 A general overseer (with some personnel background, but not much) that allows the football people to make the football decisions while applying his analytical approach. That's something that I can get behind. Admittedly, I would have preferred Poles, but I'm excited that we, hopefully, have our future Super Bowl roster architect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Kwesi Adofo-Mensah talks about what analytics means in football (usatoday.com) Adofo-Mensah was asked about the different connotations, both good and bad, associated with the word “analytics.” In his answer, the young VP explained the brain trust’s decision-making process and how that relates to the vague term. “It is so funny, before I came into the NFL, I never heard that word and never used that word, and now that I am in the NFL, I still do not,” Adofo-Mensah told reporters via Zoom. “At the end of the day, we are trying to make good decisions. These are uncertain things that we are trying to figure out so we try to be evidence-based, I would more say. Look, coaches and scouts have been evidence-based in the NFL for a long time. Every quality control coach is evidence-based. They come up with a probability. I do not necessarily think that this is some new thing. I think we are just applying it, using different methods and also using it across football operations.” “We are trying to win on the margins and so we are trying extricate every little winning possible advantage we can find across football operations and use the evidence to support that,” he said. “I think that Kevin (Stefanski), AB (Andrew Berry), DePodesta and everybody in this organization are aligned in that sense. I do not think we believe it is more than it is and I do not think we believe that is less than it is. I think we just believe that it is an important facet and something that can help us, and we are going to use whatever to help us.” https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2020/06/13/browns-vp-kwesi-adofo-mensah-explains-analytics-in-football/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm going to leave this thread open until a hiring is official. We will see if anything changes tomorrow around this time. Until then lets leave the discussion in this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
