[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 682195, member: 1929"] While I agree with what you say, I still give Patenaude a pass for the season. There certainly has been preaching taking advantage of the tools of our personnel, but clearly that's within a certain frame of offensive system. Particularly on the O-line, our personnel was a bad fit, decimated by injury, and generally starting from scratch learning a whole new technique. Our collection of QBs had very little experience and having to learn the system from scratch even trying to adapt the plays to their individual talents. That's just a poor substrate to take advantage of the abilities you do have -- not to mention similar challenges being faced on the other side of the ball having all you have to inform you about your own offensive ability vs. competition in the beginning. So, he certainly could have made a choice to change the system to take advantage of the skills and personnel we retained from the previous system. If we had, it certainly would be less optimal for subsequent years assuming attempting to transition to a new style of blocking and new preference for personnel. So there's an element of choice of short term loss for long term gain. Regardless, I'm much more optimistic for next year on the line. We will have some transfer talent, lots of talented young ones to develop, and a healthy roster with less to learn and more game experience. [/QUOTE]
