It’s a good thing the Titans don’t believe in analytics

The Tennessee Titans have been slow to embrace the new era of analytics in the NFL. As far as we can tell, there is only one person in the organization who is dedicated to analytics. I think I remember seeing a graphic at some point this summer that they were far and away the lowest in the league.

Analytics aren’t the be-all-end-all. Every organization should be using a combination of analytics, the eye test, and gut because all three things can be important in different scenarios. Unfortunately, it seems like the Titans just aren’t putting enough emphasis on analytics.
