Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 That's really cool stuff. I wonder if this science has applications for "reading" players during live game action? For example, reading a defender's facial expression to determine whether he is blitzing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Very interesting. How about coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurmal34 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Fascinating, cutting edge stuff. The only issue I see is with this being made public, i.e. if I play for the Bucks and I'm a known sulker when things go poorly, I may deliberately change my countenance knowing that a guy that has my boss' ear is tracking my facial expressions. That said, it's yet another way to analyze contributions to team performance and I applaud it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show "lie to me" is all about this, it's also a great skill if you play poker. Some people have a high intuitive feel for this, which is how I think it became a 'science'. BTW I like that they showed Cutler and RG3 there #evenmorereasonstostaythe!@#$away especially with JC. Edited December 26, 2014 by bowery4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurmal34 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Right Bow, makes sense. I just meant some folks become adept at avoiding those tells once the learn what they are. I think we are on the same page generally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I swear when I have been drinking I can watch basketball, wrestling, and a few other sports and figure out who is going to win with very good success based on something probably related to me paying attention to how things are going and how the players are acting. Maybe I should apply and explain I just need alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Orton would flunk out. Edited December 26, 2014 by SoulMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I remember that being the knock on Joe Ferguson. He was a good QB but he had the maddening habit of hanging his head when a play failed. This new research could impact future drafts. Orton has the "don't talk to me" look when things go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'd be wary about bias. A lot of "see what you want to see," in this science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 This is nothing new or cutting edge. Ask any poker player, the good ones have been reading players forever. It's also why a few football players, RBs in particular, like the dark visors. LBs can't see their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
