    Here's the transcript of Berry's introductory press conference...  I can read faster than he can talk... It's not going to be all analytics folks....  

    "Now listen – I want to make this very clear because I know a lot has been rumored and said about this topic – we will be a scouting-centered front office because I have always believed and I continue to believe scouting to be the lifeblood of roster building in the NFL. We also are going to incorporate information, research and insights into our decision making."

    THAT was the best part of his presser, for me anyway.

    If true that's the best part.  All coaches and GMs have been around long enough that they know what to say.  It is about if they can (or do) actually execute what they are saying.

    It was never going to be "all analytics".

    Sigh. All they've done is rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Nothing more.

    Everyone knows that.  But it is real high tech stuff.

    Can't go that far yet, but I understand the sentiment.

    My two hopes are:

    1. Stef has the leadership chops to be a HC. Indications out of MN are good.
    2. Behind the scenes Berry was consistently "righter" about player moves during his three-year tenure here than the collection wisdom in the building.

    This is a tired analogy. Sure, first time l read it l thought it was witty. I’m sure there are plenty of other things that could have been rearranged on the Titanic. Silverware drawers, linen cabinets, Leonardo DiCaprio's.

    Can Stef traverse all the craziness and be a conductor to make it work? Well, it's gotta be an improvement over last year, right? Baker matured some, Cluster f---k Freddie gone.
