All aTwitter: 27 October 2023 – Commanders hire Senior VP to oversee analytics & software development

Commanders make front office move. Adding Eugene Shen to “oversee all analytics and software development for the football operation.” This is significant folks. pic.twitter.com/AXJxG7rJyv

Washington Commanders begin bolstering their football analytics with a senior level hire. The hire is the culmination of a process that started in training camp. Allocating additional resources to football analytics was one of new owner Josh Harris’ top priorities after… https://t.co/1E51ZFjGi7

Harris hired a MIT analytics guy. Mark Schlereth and Chris Russell probably kicked a cat in anger.

Darrell Green will be Washington’s honorary “Legend of the Game” on Sunday.

Pretty damning indictment on their offseason that they’re benching one of their key free agent signings and it isn’t for their third-round pick https://t.co/THVIPWTMUa

And yes, Stromberg could be playing LG. I also understand wanting a vet at C to help a young QB with the calls. But the process is all over the place. Spent FA $ and a 3rd-rounder on 2 C’s, neither are playing C by week 8.

LG Saahdiq Charles is not on the practice field. Decision at LG will be Ricky Stromberg or Chris Paul Jr.

The breakdowns that I do using @pfref advance data for almost all of the information is this on the #Commanders pass to run plays:

Overall – 256 pass att., 40 sacks, 143 total rush atts – 68.1 % pass to 31.9% run.

In presnap “called” plays it’s about 71.5% Pass, 28.5% run.

— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 27, 2023

Anyone, including coaches, that justifies this as a satisfactory plan/ smart — really needs to turn their key card in.

This might be the most absurd thing I’ve seen & I’ve seen a lot.

71.5% approx. pass is NOT “hey we’re behind all the time” either. It’s so mind numbing.

— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 27, 2023

The most important thing THIS YEAR (as in 2023) is NOT developing Sam Howell. It’s doing what it takes to win.

They’ve gone the other way to try & prove a point or to figure out if Howell is the guy.

Instead – they’re hurting him & the #Commanders overall chances on offense.

— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 27, 2023

Sam Howell would have developed by passing ball 25-30 times per game. Instead, it’s about 43.7 times per game.

It’s an embarrassment that people paid to win are more interested in looking sexy than giving your team the best chance to win.

You will NEVER win in #NFL like this.

Commanders DC Jack Del Rio was asked if he has a better understanding of how to attack the “tush push” play.

He said, “No, no. I think the combination of the line, the quick center, the QB, with the thousand-pound squat, whatever it is, you add all these factors, they add up.” pic.twitter.com/nowIdhdGYU

One thing people keep missing on Jacoby Brissett in trade scenarios: he’s important to Sam Howell and his development. Very helpful. Season a lot about SH growth. Also: what if SH hurt and team is 4-5? Chance for playoffs still. So Brissett could help there too.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 26, 2023

Also: it doesn’t matter what you or others think about their chances. If THEY believe they have a chance that’s what matters. No fire sale even if lose Sunday. Listen? Yep. Give away? Nope.

So it has come to this.

I’ve started a GoFundMe to raise the money we need to buy 1979-80 TV footage from NFL Films and complete those 2 years of DVOA ratings!

Roughly 200 donations of $10 should get us enough money to complete our play-by-play files.https://t.co/AUCcGnh5h4
