I cater breakfast for the Hawkeyes and I get to see and chat with Tory Taylor every week. He’s one of the most polite and upbeat players on the team. I also know for a fact that he’s seen your videos and he appreciates the amount of depth you go into about him.

TRD BRUH;

As a bear fan who wanted to check out who we just drafted, I really appreciate the work you put in. Punters are people too!

I admire your dedication. That’s a lot of film to watch and a ton of time you put into this. Well done!

Tory Taylor's stats here don't show how many times opponents started inside their 20s. IIRC, that stat is 109 times over the last 3 years when he played the entire seasons. Taylor can kick the ball over 50 yards but he excelled at shorter kicks backing teams up and changing field position for his not very good Iowa team. With the Bears new offense, most of his punts will be of this variety rather than punts from deep inside the offense's territory like he needed to do at Iowa. Caleb tweeted him "You're not going to be punting much". Meaning Bears offense is going to move the ball. Ryan Poles drafted Tory in the 4th over other talented players showing Poles thinks he is a weapon.

Never thought I would actually watch a punter analysis, but since I am a big Bears fan...here I am. Nicely done, Isaac.

This was a really cool analysis of Tori. Hawks didn’t give us points but at least they gave you punt data 😂

Just WOW! Way to geek out on this. Appreciate the in depth breakdown 👍🏻

Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. Well done. 🐻⬇️

This is an extremely well done analysis! Thanks for your time and effort!

I’m bearing down so hard right now

All I know is the last time the Bears were really good, we had a hell of a special teams unit in Hester/Gould/Maynard. They impacted a ton of games for us, it felt like we started every drive at the 40, and our opponents backed up behind their own 20. So yea, I supported this pick. Special Teams really matters!!!

That’s the only explanation for a team that’s 19th in offensive yards/play, 28th in turnovers, 14th in total yards and 2nd in scoring.

This is amazing, good dedication. Can you analyze Ryan rehkow for byu?

Kinnick Stadium has the "craziest" wind as well..This is also why so many interceptions occur there!

Absolutely excellent video. Loved the in depth breakdown. All the numbers could use at a minimum flashing on the screen or maybe some graphic just because it was a little bit data overload but I love the super deep dive format

Bear Down!

As a hawk fan my whole life (freshman during that undefeated rosebowl run we had) I want a complete reroll on coaching staff

This is the Holy Grail of all punter analysis.

oh how i LOVE data!! cant get enough data .. data is amazing!! more data - PLEASE

this (below) is an excerpt from an academic analysis querying "how should we more accurately evaluate the efficacy of punters? The reference citation is given below: “Unfortunately, the aforementioned metrics are hampered by confounding variables. If the line of scrimmage is near midfield, then often the punter will reduce the amount of power behind a kick, in order to avoid a touchback, leading to a reduced gross (and likely also net) distance, as discussed in Burke [article] (2010). If a punt originates from deep in the kicking team’s own end of the field, there are no such concerns about a touchback, so the punter is free to kick the ball as far as possible. Punters on weak teams more often find themselves with plenty of room to kick the ball deep, leading to higher gross punting averages and fewer touchbacks. Lisk (2008) found that punters on teams with below-average offenses are overrepresented on Pro Bowl (all-star) teams, perhaps for this reason. On the other hand, punters on good teams can expect to have higher inside-20 percentages, because of having more frequent short-field punt opportunities.” content.iospress.com/download/journal-of-sports-analytics/jsa164?id=journal-of-sports-analytics%2Fjsa164

Im always a fan of good kicking, and everyone telling me this kid is special

But what does Corey Taylor think 🤔

Well, a lot of effort and wow, fourth round pick. You pick 'em!

Great work

I’ve watched nearly every Iowa Football game since the early 80s.

Tory Taylor got drafted 4th round before Ryan Rehkow did to the bears

Thanks for the breakdown. As much as I'd like to, devoting time to Iowa games last season was even a stretch for my in-laws from Keota IA. Taylor looks to instantly improve a need for the Bears, and count me amongst those who see this as a good draft pick. Mr. Taylor, if you like Iowa, you'll love Illinois. Its just like Iowa, but with electricity.

It’s essentially a program built to produce pro style athletes and seems to instill the work ethic to stay in the league. I mean 4 of the 5 best TEs in the league are from Iowa right now

What about weather conditions? This is extremely important due to the harsh conditions of soldier field. Also, this kid has kicked at the Iowa stadium, Wisconsin, and upper Midwest locations with similar conditions to soldier field during certain times of the year.

Bear Down Chicago Bears!!!

So what we know from this video and your previous one on the Ray Guy award is that the Steelers are definitely drafting this guy and turning him into the next Pressley Harvin. Which is not good if you're a Steelers fan, it's just very on brand for them.

Draft analysis on a punter... hm, I have an unpopular opinion about that. Punters should be picked up in UDFA, then when they beat out a vet, they might start. Most of them struggle for a few years before they actually get good at their second team.

So I’m hearing you think he’s slightly overrated? Uh oh
