[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 181560, member: 195"] Thanks. This is a thoughtful post; however, I would like to offer another perspective. (my numbers don't correspond to yours) 1) I think every offensive (or defensive) coach has an offensive (or defensive) philosophy. 2) They then recruit toward that philosophy. They adjust to the capabilities of their players within their philosophy/system. I think the stuff CPJ did to adjust for Vad is more than I've seen from any other coach. 3) I may not understand your comment that CPJ doubles down instead of branching out, so I apologize if this is off-the-mark: The plays you run in a game have to be part of, or fit within, your system/playbook/things you've practiced. You can't just do something completely new and different. You also call plays which you think they have a good chance of executing based on what they've shown you in practice. For example, saying that we should throw a particular timing-route may be a good idea in theory, but if we've never been able to get the timing down in practice, it wouldn't be smart to assume that we'd magically get it right in game. 4) Your comment that we should "throw and complete a few passes" is genius. I'm sure that when we threw the ball 24 times against ND and 22 times against Duke, that was the problem: we didn't include "complete" in the play call. I'm surprised that you don't think the need for "blocking better" was part of the problem there. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your post, but I just don't think you thought through the issues all the way. Take it for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
