Apologies to Otis if I’m overstepping, but wanted to put this out early since we can all watch and make snarky QBR posts today as we watch.
Enjoy this final glimpse of football as we head into the dark doldrums off summer speculation and hot takes, and post your comments here. I’ll be there, and if I can snap a few pictures I’ll share later in the day.
Have at it, scamps, and as always, behave.
I wonder how AI will begin to influence the game. By now it knows the entire history of our own offense and defense for each down, distance and game clock as it will for all of our opponents. It is possible from what I’ve seen elsewhere that AI can call plays faster…better?…than the coordinators. I would guess it can at least dial up a quick list of choices to choose from vs the existing play chart. Would love to see an interview with Kirby about this.
AI vs Bobo? A Bobobot? You bring up a great point. Will savvy coaches and coordinators use AI much like analytics? By the way, in a game called by AI vs Bobo, who you takin’?
Even AI can’t compute some of Bobo’s decisions, so I take Bobo after AI self-destructs. I can hear HAL now: “Mike, what are you doing? I can’t let you do that, Michael”:
“AI self destructs.” Lol nicely done.
AI is probably already impacting game planning, but I would be very suspect of it making snap decisions while the play clock is winding down or the offense is at the line of scrimmage. The risk associated with a model hallucination at the wrong time is way too high at this point.
Can it be an aid to an analyst or an assistant who is doing advance scouting on opponents or self-scouting? Yep.
With some of the rumors about cyber and Indiana last year, I would be hesitant to trust that information is protected.
AI could be programmed to call 37 screen passes per game and .001 crossing routes.
Thanks JP, I’ve been busy this morning getting set back up to record G-Day for archiving on Rumble. Everyone cross your fingers I got the setup right!
Snarky comments here?
The TE Reddell is doing an excellent Brock Bowers impression. My second impression is if Gunner goes down we are FUBAR.
Jake Bobo’s first pass…a screen. Thats Daddy Bobo telling everyone to keep their opinions to themselves.
Maybe he was using AI? 😬
I KNEW IT!!!
I don’t know if it was just me, but I thought we looked pretty mediocre today. Certainly there were several good plays, offensively and defensively, but I didn’t leave with the same impression that I had last G-Day that we were setting the stage for a good to possibly great season. Maybe we’ll look better on the replay. It was still fun to see the guys play. We looked awesome in warmups!
Think having 10 starters out was probably part of it, and the G-Day games get more vanilla each year.
My humble opinion, and it’s just an opinion, is that Gunner gives his 100% but his biggest effort doesn’t yield biggest results. To start the QBR argument, Bryson Beavers looked like the most comfortable guy out there. Either he’s not acclimated to fear, or he’s that good. When he tucked and ran, it was fluid and natural. Can’t believe he was a high schooler four months ago.
Can’t fault Gunner for his effort, but Beavers has the legs, good touch. Also, Prothro is as advertised. And TEs were lining up as wideouts. Let’s get the ball rolling, Bobo.
