Anyone remember details of the Packers getting into GPS tracking and other newer measures of athlete performance and fitness?
Because they have used some of the same stuff Chip Kelly is doing in Philly but I specifically recall them collecting data on GPS and the players for some time. Which leads me to this:

“Our biggest competition is the status quo: the inability of old-school coaches to move beyond doing what they’ve always done,” said Gary McCoy, director of sports science at Catapult. “Change is frightening, especially in a sport like pro football.”
Hiring Australian-educated trainers and buying fancy equipment won’t do much good if coaches and players are reluctant to put theory and data into practice. McCoy mentioned one NFL client that has been highly receptive to sports science but collected three years of data before they began applying it.
