[QUOTE="CHE90, post: 120583, member: 1220"] This is my impression as well. I think it is the reason CPJ doesn't use a card with scripted plays. I believe he calls the games based on what the other defense is showing. He takes what they give him and exploits their weakness. It reminds me of a Sports Illustrated article several years ago about Greg Maddux. They asked him if before a game against the Padres, he would study lots of film of Tony Gwynn's at bats to know better how to approach pitching to him. Maddux said something to the effect that against any hitter, he didn't care about how that player approached at bats earlier that season, let alone 2 or 3 seasons ago. All he cared about was that batter's previous at bats that game or even how the hitter approached him a pitch or 2 ago. It was all about keeping the hitter off balance and what he was expecting based on the most recent pitch or at bat. Maddux would even set the hitter up by "allowing" him to do something against him early in a game with no runners on, so that later in the game in a clutch situation (when a hit might produce RBIs) Maddux could have him looking for the same thing and end up getting the out. Sorry this is so long winded, but I honestly believe CPJ is similar to Maddux in that he takes the mental part of the game and play calling to a whole new level like that. I don't know much about football so I would appreciate someone with better knowledge of the game weighing in on this. [/QUOTE]
