Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast.

I am your host and resident panelist, as always, Ryan Schlipp.

Find me on Twitter pack underscore datah um the goal for today at least to begin

with I'm guessing it won't take the whole time I want to do a a recap just a quick summary of how

the first three days of camp have gone and then we'll see where that leads us. There's a lot of

chatter going on. And we'll see where this leads when we get there. But I know a lot of people,

there's a thing going around. Preseason stats are stupid. depends i generally disagree it's stupid in the sense

of treating them like you would in the regular season but i do like to track how people are doing

and i think outside of stats all we have are kind of like vibes, which honestly is the reason why I want

to go back and look at the cumulative results over three days, is to look at each individual

instance, put them together, and provide sort of statistics to say this is how good or bad a person

has done, as opposed to

kind of just after three days thinking back and going, I kind of feel like so-and-so's having a

good day, but I can't really remember. You know what I mean? So I'm, I am pro-stats,

again, from the standpoint of trying to contextualize how it's going for everybody.

I understand it's different and quarterbacks throw more interceptions and all that kind of stuff.

But if none of this means anything, then what are we doing?

If we just reduce everything down to it doesn't matter, then why are we even showing up to practice?

You know what I'm saying?

And if these things do matter, then tracking them would make sense.

Does that make sense?
