[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 52668, member: 617"] ^^^ Nodawgs, validity of outlier trimming aside (assuming those games can be called outliers), perhaps a more pressing question would be, given what happened with execution problems and CPJ's response to them, what makes you think he won't change the plays he calls to find something that works? Don't we need the offense to, you know, work first? Are you watching the same games I am? If we're talking only about last year you've got the order wrong. Rocket/Dive, throw once or twice, miss on third and long. Punt. But that's because we couldn't put together a decent 30/midline to save our lives. Fairly sure we've all had enough thinking on why that happened. Wrinkles are cool when you use them as a strategic response. That's not where we were last year. If anything, CPJ does a huge amount of innovating, but won't keep at something new that's getting blown apart. It's funny to me that a lot of people stridently argue that CPJ is too stubborn because he won't run into the ground with a new idea that isn't working. Some thoughts: 1. Real football is not like NCAA 14. Defenses pretty much know exactly how they want to react to every formation you can throw at them. Misdirection is another beast entirely. The only real question is who can execute better given a formation. 2. When our offense is working, forcing us to run certain plays is a really bad idea. That's why its tactically interesting and how 08 and 09 happened. 3. When you can't execute, formation is irrelevant. Line up however you want, if you have a [player] who can't [execute a thing] their DC knows how to ride that all day long no matter where you put them. If you have a long enough list of can'ts, you run out of ways to not expose those weaknesses. I've never heard anyone who thought CPJ was stubborn and left behind with respect to offensive plays who said that and had a 'given what we saw with [X,Y,Z] performing and [A,B,C] falling short, we could have overcome their [strength that hurt our production] by doing [a thing]. And although there's generally a higher caliber of person on this forum, most people I talk to who think that way, when you get down to it, can't see the field, even to the extent of being able to identify the pitch and dive keys and what happened on a given play. I'm not saying I always can, but I do try to learn more and understand better. And I find that as I do, I enjoy the games even more. [/QUOTE]
