Generally agree. And though I’ve been trying to avoid CPJ talk.....some here just refuse to move on from the past regime, their dislike of it...and continue to spout etheir ignorance on football in general and our past O scheme specifically.
One thing he stipulated was that talent disparity could overcome scheme. And he at times praised some who gave us fits. BJ Raj and that other DT at BC forced him to run away from both in play calls. Aaron Donald....there wasn’t anything we could call to negate that cat. Also gave praise to some Lbs and safeties we faced.
I agree he thought his calls and scheme could help mitigate opponent talent but I don’t think he ever overstated that much.
Just a fun point on special players.
On 4th and short against Pittsburgh didn't we run right at Aaron Donald?
At Iowa orange bowl they had one special dt on left side and had overload on right side. First half we tried to run left or utm left and the special guy showed how special he was. Later we just ran to right into the overload andchad success.
Correct me if i am wrong on rth and 1 against AD.
The other teans , who are allowed to scout and improve, became better at seeing tells and disgusting their alignments. This made ol teaching harder by alot
Per the player.
Imo
When cpj spoke he had a bigger message for several parties. When he spoke about scheme can only do so much against special players, MB our AD should have heard if we want to win i we need to get cpj recruiting money so he can get special players .
The last few years when he spoke defending the offense andcour performance he wasnt just asking for prospective view to justiy recent so so performance. It wasn't rah rah, but if u listened you heard his pain at seeing his scheme running for years like a race engine w fuel line restriction.
