Seems like Dorsey is trying his hand at the NfL's version of moneyball.

If it works, awesome.

It's more about trying to maximize your resources vs pinching your pennies.

It was about maximizing resources in an economic model where some teams are limited financially and others aren't.

Football has revenue sharing and a salary cap. "Moneyball" is a novel concept but that's about it.

You can still play the same game and adjust it for your budget. Again like Htis said, it is about Maximizing resources.

I like him as much as beckham but I feel they're both pretty limited to the the slot, or can play #2 with a true #1 wide out on the opposite side. Matthews reminds me of his cousin jerry rice. he might not be the flashiest Wr but he produces game in and game out, year in and year out.

This. Listen to the interview from 11/21 on the Jim Rome show. 2/14 is good too.

Matthews' attitude is extremely rare for a WR. He is a winner. He's a big athlete too. 6'3" 212 lbs and a 4.46 40. Set all the SEC receiving records. GREAT HANDS!

Brandin Cooks set several combine records for quickness at 190 lbs. (meaning hes timing quicker than the midget 170 guys like Mccluster, Tavon Austin, Dri Archer) and he's doing at 20 + pounds heavier.

Freak of nature + I think the first or second best WR stats in NCAA? print please

That's why he's going to the Jets to be their slot guy.

What shouldn't be lost here is that another team with money took the moneyball concept and applied it to their budget and had fantastic results.

Then it's not Money Ball anymore, is it?

a lot of people say all of the right things, and most of them come off a bit rehearsed to me in interviews, but I can tell he's a guy that means what he says, and practices what he preaches. I can't wait to see how his career goes. hopefully its in a red or white uni. thanks for sharing!

It is because it is still the use of sabermetrics to determine a player's value as opposed to the traditional items. It is just a better tool...but when you put more money into it works even better.

Many teams do it now which reduced the advantage the As had.

Yup. He and Carr worked together after practice at the Senior Bowl on endzone routes. They got a couple of other guys to join in later as well.

I really like Moncrief. I hope he ends up with either the 9ers or the Chiefs. Mathews is another one of my draft crushes.

I think that after the combine and pro day that he had, someone is going to pull the trigger on Moncreif before he reaches our 3rd pick.
