[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 675587, member: 265"] Well … he could have done what we did at Miami: use a lot more under center sets and use the "flex back" position for something more besides "designated bench warmer". With a blocker like Cottrell on the bench, we lost a lot of edge work that could have made - dare I say it? - option plays more likely to work. It also would have provided an extra blocker for off-tackle plays. A "pro-style" O, iow. But no! We want to "showcase players for the NFL"! Not do something that would attract pro scouts attention, like, you know, [I]winning football games[/I]. Personally, I don't like to think that Collins is this stupid, but I do suspect that this year he wanted to show recruits that there was a new show in town, instead of doing a real transition that would use the skills of the players we had already. And, you know, [I]win[/I]. So we, you know, [I]lost[/I]. A lot. Well, let's hope both he and Patenaude think they have shown enough to get back to what our roster can do. Not, mind, that it'll make much difference during the [B][I]Season of Doom[/I][/B]. [/QUOTE]
