That's why you're consistently wrong.

The offensive playcalling has improved drastically, which is no surprise given that Reich was an offensive coach for a very innovative offense last year and Pagano was too conservative offensively.

You realize that's something that's occurring in-game right? Those play calls are happening during the game, so why are you saying coaching makes no difference to in-game results? You just admitted that it does in this last post, so please quit being stupid.

That is like telling water to stop being wet.

But even Simon wasn't in the backfield; he was occupying blockers. More of a Vince Wilfork type. Hunt is just moving blockers, quickly and violently as hell, into the backfield.

The 1995 DL (Bennett, Whittington, McCoy, Siragusa) was pretty good. They (and front seven in general) were a very physical unit that owned the LOS, forced turnovers and played a really good brand of smashmouth football.

The only thing worse than Dam bringing up his dumb ideas on coaching is you dummies baiting him into defending his dumb ideas on coaching. Can we move on for fucks sake or are we just going to let this ruin every thread?

A playcall cannot create a result, because schemes can be designed and work perfectly to give a player an opportunity, and that player can still completely blow their assignment. Similarly, a playcall can break down completely and the play still yield a huge positive gain thanks to the efforts of the players. The players determine the results on the field in almost every case.



I see it more like telling you or Omaha to stop holding GMs accountable. How can one stop what they never started?
No shit. Players have to make plays (this was already known by everyone, it's not some amazing revelation you tried to make), but they have a much easier time doing so when it's a good play as opposed to a shit play like Pagano and company would call. You try to make it easier on those playmakers, not harder. When you make it easier on those playmakers with better calls, it absolutely affects the game, just as you admitted earlier. Quit being obtuse.

The way they use TY Hilton is the biggest thing from the coaches, and I primarily mean Reich, so far. We have all been calling for it for, what, 4 years, and they are finally doing it. No, he is not doing everything downfield, as is traditionally his best attribute. But they are using his speed and finding him a way to get him the ball. The drag routes, bunch formations......My God, some Colts coach has been watching football in the last 10 years and knows how to run these finally and use them to get the ball to the fastest guy on the team!! TY Hilton is no longer just shut out of the game if teams stop the vertical passing game. He can actually do other things.
