NFL Coaches Skeptical of Chip-Generated Data

Now that we've got the book out of the way, we can get back to linking and discussing really good football articles we find around the Interwebs. And this is a good one: Kevin Seifert discusses how coaches feel about the in-game movement data provided by chips in player shoulder pads. They are surprisingly unexcited by it. But I think I know why, and it's not simply because they're old-school and anti-analytics.

I sat down at the combine this year with the folks who handle this data and they showed me some of what they can do. It's remarkable.
