[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 796594, member: 959"] I think it shows up in a few different ways: 1) [B]As many people have mentioned, you can’t serve two different masters.[/B] As the year progressed we were doing more and more of the “to be” playbook and less of the “as is” one. It felt, to me at least, like a scrimmage approach where some of the time we were running a play that we just didn’t have the horses to pull off. Especially some of the passing plays we got blown up on because we couldn’t establish a pocket. Lots of us (myself included) clamored for more quick hitting option style runs to the outside or quick crossing routes in the shallow flats but that’s not the style of play we saw. I believe some of that was the staff installing their base stuff regardless of the guys ability to play it because the tailoring would delay the longer term switch into the “new system”. 2) [B]Position groups seemed to be playing from different coverage philosophies.
