Tyler Goodson announcement

Don’t understand this move by him. He should transfer somewhere where he’s used correctly and maximize his ability. He’d have to absolutely kill it in workouts or the pro day er whatever to possibly get drafted. Idk I was never impressed with him. Could’ve been offensive play calling and bad blocking but the dude just got swallowed up by defenses on the regular.
Let us not forget the potential that K/BF will disparage him to scouts and teams. Just sayin'
 
Maybe... If the D/ST is consistently producing short fields, then there are a lot of missed opportunities for him to gain EPA on their own side of the field (though the D/ST can be credited for huge EPAs). But, as you get closer to the endzone the same 3 yard gain gets you a higher EPA. So that could be offset. Looking at the distribution that guy created specifically for Goodson, its saying that even though he might have done things that are good for him, it didn't translate to improving the team's situation very often.

One consideration is lots of guys that do this calculation take out whatever they consider to be "garbage time" - any plays that occur when the game is functionally already over. So if he's racking up yards while Iowa is up by 21 in the 4th Quarter, he may not be getting credit for those runs. There's no standard calculation for EPA so you have to dig into how different people calculate it.

I'm sure there's a purpose for it...but man Breece literally finds the endzone more than anybody and he's 38th? How much of it is coaches giving him carries in situations where the whole world knows he's getting the ball...which could also be Goodson since Iowa has struggled in passing game.

If I'm looking for the hidden individual greatness at running back I think I'd go more for broken tackles and yards after contact vs the backs who get 3-4 yards deep every play before they get hit because their line is blasting everyone backwards. Montgomery didn't have Breece's big play threat but he was probably the greatest we'll ever have making his own yards out of nothing and might not have got the attention he deserved because our line wasn't as good. Also the amount of contact he ran through and only one career lost fumble that was actually a touchdown.

Because Goodson is crap. I should declare for the draft too.

I think you have a shot! More than me at least. I get winded walking to the mailbox. Like I’ve mentioned, I really wonder who is guiding him. You never know though, he could shine outside of college.

How many pages will this get? He’s run a lot of snaps. IA’s OL has sucked. He doesn’t break tackles and doesn’t block well. I see both sides of coin here. He might as well try and make some money. Give him some space he’s pretty good. Been all B1G couple times so let’s not act like it’s one of us declaring.

Yeah, it does not "account" for any of that context at all - good/bad line, good/bad passing game, etc. Its strictly looking at how far you advanced the ball with a bonus for 1st downs and TDs.

Football is harder for analytics because there are so many critical players on every play, and there is so much that can't be measured easily without some kind of AI video system.
 
I don’t think Kirk really likes coaching these days with all of the changes he’s been forced to accept, but he loves money too much to retire.

Yeah its hard to pretend you're not racist and use workouts and nutrition that don't have deadly and dangerous side effects.

I hear you. If the man wants to try for the NFL, good luck brother. The idiots that are simply trashing him because of his uniform are embarrassing. who gaf what he does.

Well, I guess @Cyclones1969 is a little butt hurt. Why would anyone deny some kid his chance? Racist much, @Cyclones1969? My best of luck to him. Seems like a good player and decent guy.

He's a decent player but this is the NFL, RBs are a dime a dozen. Nothing in particular stands out about him, he'll be putting all his hopes on standout measurables at his workouts, which he hasn't really shown. He had a much better career than a guy like Kene but Kene had measurable NFL speed and showed he had value via special teams. Not sure Goodson can find that niche, he'll be grinding his way through the old fashioned way. If he's going to be done with school this makes sense but if not, it's quite the gamble.
 
I have no problem with a player like Goodson turning pro, he was not going to improve any by coming back to EIU for another season, so he might as well try the NFL now, when he has fewer carries on his body.

Goodson is an average back at best, servable, but he has way to many times where he just crumbles to the ground instead of trying to at least get back to the LOS. Good, but not great speed but does have decent hands to catch the ball out of the backfield.

A player with his skill set has to hope to make a practice squad and then produce enough to hang around 3 to 4 seasons and then go one with his life. Nothing at all wrong with that, and it might turn into a coaching position some day, down the line.

Why did you lie about being an Iowa State fan when you started posting with this account after 7 1/2 years?

Wouldn’t you say that stashing an account to troll is the very definition of being a loser?
