Eh...The only major whiff of his was Corey Coleman in RD 1 but everyone had agreed he was a good prospect with high potential.
The fact he is a believer in Stefanski and apparently can work well with DePodesta should (keyword) lead to less fragmented results on-the-field.
If he can sharpen our shitty culture, it should pay dividends but unfortunately that shitty culture starts with his boss.
Guess we’re trading down
I missed the part about you shoving anything up your ass... a donation to wherever seems more appropriate. I would like to see what it was you said you'd do again though... just to put all those related comments in context.As much as some people might get off on me shoving something up my ass. I’m currently saving that for the good Lord. I will donate to the site, Australia fires, Kobe charity, whatever.
I’ll try and get more info on this when I can.
As he delved deeper into strategy, his computer science training became invaluable.
“When you are thinking of acquiring talent and managing talent on a roster, a lot of it is like pricing risk,” he said. “Machine learning techniques and data are having more of an impact in all the different spaces of football operations. My background has really aided me in terms of being able to speak multiple languages with the decision makers and the analysts, and it has enabled me to be of help with the general strategy in terms of building a team.”
The friction that is created by those new techniques presents a challenge that can sometimes be difficult to overcome. Many personnel decisions in football are still based purely on gut and intuition. There’s a place for that, but using data to help inform those decisions is gaining traction, Berry said. Blending a number of different perspectives and tools to make the best decisions is a complicated task.
Berry has now brought his perspective to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he was named vice president of football operations in February. In his new broader role, he works to develop a winning strategy alongside many different areas of football operations, including talent scouts, the research group, the contract management team, and the high-performance player development team.
“I’m out of my comfort zone. I’m now working in a few spaces in which I don’t have as strong expertise, but that transition is important and enjoyable and it pushes me and helps me broaden my own perspective,” he said. “I consider myself really blessed because I learn so much every day and there is always a fresh perspective in tackling these yearly problems.”
I hope Berry's ready for his first act as GM to be cutting Kareem Hunt loose
Berry actually has a chance to, if done correctly, whether Hunt is re-signed or released to resonate with current and potentially future FAs in the Browns favor.I hope Berry's ready for his first act as GM to be cutting Kareem Hunt loose
On point #2... how do we know that’s actually true? That’s something that’s way easy for the Browns brass to make up after the fact.
What do you know...
