Meet Mariah Bryant, a 24 year old BSN Trauma ICU Nurse in Nashville & the girlfriend of @ArionCarter. She is fully recovering from Stage 2 Breast Cancer with Chemo Treatments. Her hair started falling out so she had him cut off the rest & he surprised her by cutting his too. 🥹🥰

@csv_enjoyer Was there any time limit on when they could “score last in the 1H”? I’d think there is an offensive momentum aspect of scoring with 8:00 in the 2Q (but no more scores) vs scoring with :30 on the clock

Changes when the “double dip decision” is made (coin toss vs clock management)

@zwilly33 @SumerSports @ShrineBowl Unfortunately, the most descriptive drill labels ever got were Indy, 1on1, etc - also part of the challenge.

Results are definitely DB specific Indy/1v1 allows them to showcase speed, acc more than structured team. Different tracking signal out there for OL/DL, just not in Indy

This week I attended the East-West @ShrineBowl as a finalist in a tracking analytics competition. My project was DIGS (Drill-Informed Gain Scoring): quantifying which practice data actually adds NFL-Rookie signal when projecting talent.

Huge thanks to @SumerSports for hosting 🧵

Thanks again to @SumerSports and @ShrineBowl for making this possible.

Awesome experience!

But the best part of the week was seeing how much context you lose with only tracking data.

Communication, adjustments, body language—none of that shows up in a CSV file!

Talked to Ceyar Wright (CB/#15) about his interception after practice

*Cover 2 CB to a stack, was looking for a drive concept based on the look
*With no threat in the flat, he felt comfortable undercutting the route

I’m sure there’s 1,000,000 other posts out there but it cannot be stated how vital Greg Biffle was in organizing the western NC Helene relief effort which was among one of the largest civilian humanitarian missions ever on American soil.

The world didn’t just lose a NASCAR great today. The world lost a great man and great family that selflessly stepped up and used their resources for the greater good to help total strangers during their greatest time of need.

Rest in peace.

@Casey_Reims @StatsbyLopez @michael13gallup Chaos is triggered when certain thresholds are exceeded for a set of variables (acceleration, heading, etc.). Then I sort results by player to get their chaos stats.

Did everything in python using Next Gen tracking data. Code and more detail included in the writeup linked above

This year’s #BigDataBowl focus was on what happens after the ball is thrown, with a fun wrinkle. There was a unique emphasis on Broadcast Visualization applications within analytics. Thanks as always to @StatsbyLopez for hosting!

Here is what I came up with: 1/n
