Troy Jones JavelinaJavelina Hash Hash By Fred Nuesch, Coordinator of Athletic External Affairs WITH THE ANNOUNCING of the new Javelina head football coach, a lot of excitement has been created among the Javelina fans. There’s lots of talk about the 2015 season despite the first game being 244 days away. The schedule also has the fans buzzing. The first game with Incarnate Word in San Antonio has always been popular with the Javelinas. Having a road game just over two hours away is a rarity for the Blue and Gold faithful. The Javelinas have had as many as 4,000 supporters in the stands for the UIW games in San Antonio. After the UIW trip, the Javelinas play three consecutive games in Javelina Stadium. ROBERTO GARZA SIGNED a one-year contract extension with the Chicago Bears last week. The former Javelina is the starting center for the club. He has been in the NFL for 14 seasons and 10 of those have been in Chicago. Garza was originally signed by the Atlanta Falcons after being Meeting With Fans Daren Wilkinson, Javelina head football coach, met with Javelina fans following a press conference last week. drafted in the fourth round in 2001.

  • Rigorous Cluster Analyses for Prospective Player Evaluation In
    Rigorous Cluster Analyses For Prospective Player Evaluation In The National Football League Max Isaac Mulitz1 Brown University December 2015 I wish to express my appreciation to my thesis advisor, Professor Francesco Di Plinio, for his guidance and support throughout the research process and to Professor Mark Dean who served as my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Kevin Dayaratna for his voluntary guidance and insights in discussing the issues addressed in this thesis. I also wish to thank those coaches and advisors that directed and assisted me toward this interest including: Coach Nelson Burton, Coach Tom Green, Katherine Russell, Frank Costello, Coach Phil Estes and Brown University Football, and Coach Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles Organization. 1 Abstract This study uses principal component as well as k-means cluster analysis to evaluate prospects who enter the National Football League (NFL) draft. We also explore whether such analysis creates the opportunity to take advantage of inefficiencies in the NFL draft as a market. We find that for offensive tackles, both speed and explosiveness-based athleticism have a positive relationship with career performance, even after discounting for draft position. Our results have useful managerial implications, suggesting that many NFL managers currently undervalue athleticism in the offensive tackle position when selecting players in the draft. 2 1. Introduction The National Football League (NFL) is a multi-billion dollar business (Keenan, 2014). In principle, team quality influences the size of the teams fan base, which in turn sets the market for television rights, ticket sales and other moneys the team can make selling memorabilia, etc.

  • By George, He's Steady
    CHAD’S A FAKER! New York Jets quarterback CHAD PENNINGTON posted a 8-4 (.667) record in his first season as the team’s starting QB last season, leading the Jets to their second division title and a playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Pennington led the NFL with a 104.2 passer rating and completed 68.9 percent of his passes, tops in the league. PAUL HACKETT, the Jets offensive coordinator, attributes a lot of Pennington’s success to his play-faking ability. In fact, Hackett calls Pennington the best play-faking quarterback in the league. Hackett on why Pennington is such a good faker: 1. In order to be successful, you have to study yourself in the running game so you know what you look like when you hand it off. That is where Chad is masterful. He looks at himself in the running game so it will look exactly the same. 2. Fake with the ball, not with your hands. 3. Chad is a natural at performing the play-fake. He’s at a very sophisticated level. 4. You have to like it. That’s important. You have to be fascinated with it. You have to think, “This is a big deal, a fun thing.” Then you have a chance. Chad does that. He has fun. 5. You’ve got to have a quarterback who understands that when he does hand the ball off, he must act like he still has the ball. You have to carry out every fake. Chad is great at this. 6. Don’t over-exaggerate the fake.
