Description
The analytics in football discussion has reached a point where the opposing sides seem to be shouting past one another, lacking the nuance necessary to such a discussion. So, what should we talk about when we talk about analytics. Sam Schwartzstein, Amazon's analytics expert and producer for live events focused on analytics and insights, joins Robert Mays to dive into that on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
Then, Ty Dunne of Go Long hops on to talk about his new book about the history of the tight end position, 'The Blood and Guts.'
