Agree. I think the engine is in place. It’s above one person. Snead is the head mechanic, so to me that’s the most critical piece. Someone that knows how things should work.
Holmes would be important, but Snead keeps the analytics engine humming and that removes the reliance on people.
I do believe the analytics model would be easy to copy. The Rams advantage is their data is already deep and will be deeper for a while until others catch up.
But that analytics model will be the new standard, IMO.
Brad Holmes knows what it looks like… what do we think he is building in Detroit? Probably what he saw work with the Rams.
