Bill showing why he's the best coach ever on their last offensive drive too.

Put their heavy package on the field forcing the Rams to keep their base defense on the field. Then they went 5 wide with their heavy package and forcing linebackers in coverage.

 

xbox cheese.

 

Pats probably had safeties at DE.

 

I've always wondered why teams don't do this more.

Keep 21 or 12 package out there, go empty and keep the receivers inside on the backers. Not saying every play, but on occasion.

 

Ive never understood going big and running into where 20 other players are. Spread out, check to a run to the side you have it or pick on their weak coverage.

 

could you imagine breaking the huddle or hurrying into that? would be chaos for the defense.

 

It's not quite that easy. 5 wide without the threat of a running QB limits you quite a bit in your pass protection.

 

For all the crap Sanders (deservedly) got, he ran a package in 01 that I loved where he would flank Witten and Finlayson out wide and put Stallworth and Washington inside. First time he ran it against LSU was a 40-something yard TD against LSU. They had no idea what to do.

 

With Peyton out of league, I've been able to take an unbiased look at New England, and my God, they just do the little things no one else does. They are just smarter than everyone else by miles.

 

Smarter in that they seem to not overcomplicate things. McVay does all the window dressing on offense and Belichick's defense just stays home. On offense, they don't seem to run a lot of complex plays, they do the easy things well and when it works they keep doing it.

 

How they have done what they have done in a league that takes pride in its parity is simply unfathomable.

 

They're easily the best run organization in football. Someone needs to knock them off.

 

Their "run game" is throwing 3 yard passes to shifty little bastards that are hard to tackle. Then, you got a big body in Gronk with the middle of the field wide open.

Belichick is a great defensive mind and he's created an offense he can't stop.

 

There are too many coaches that are way too "sophisticated" to do something like this.

 

Must not be from East TN. Coaches are their own worst enemies.

 

And he has the best QB in the world to run it. Brady's biggest strength has been his ability to read a defense and then remain calm. Guy is colder than heart of the Antarctic ice sheet.

 

He's in the Neyland and Bryant camp. He knows that more games are lost than won, and they really just don't beat themselves.

 

He also doesn't give two shits about his personal stat line. Not every QB is like that

 

Would not have surprised me at all if he said he watched the Packers vs Chies in SBI game film and took some ideas on how to attack it from that.

 

Belichick has been DC or HC for 11 Super Bowls, good for a little over 20% of all Super Bowls.
