I think he's overstating the simplicity thing with the offense this week. It's about high percentage plays and execution. Does New England have any complex offense that they run? I don't think so. Most of their pass plays are short high percentage plays and they let their talent make plays to get extra yards then they take their calculated shots down the field. Everyone knows what they do but they can't stop it be cause they execute it to perfection and there is no one to key on with all the weapons they have. Added to that Brady is on the money with all his throws and decisions, allowing the receivers to get the most yards after catch. We can present the same problems to a defense. Santonio and Braylon are both great after the catch. Cotchery is pretty good as well and the of course we have Keller, and the backs to throw to. If a defense inches up to stop the short pass guess what Braylon, Santonio, and keller can all beat you long and thats when you take your deep shots. Sanchez showed me this week he can operate that kind of offense and his 65% completion percentage leads me to believe the struggles he has had completing only around 55% for his career are due to the play calls not inaccuracy. I think we should stick with the plays we ran this week. If we run those types of plays against a weaker defense we march up and down the field all day long. And it's the only way to be effective against fast, physical defense, with a good pass rush...i.e. Steelers, bears, ravens.
I had to rewind the DVR to prove this to my dad during the game. I was laughing my ass off at the snap and he didn't believe me when I told him it was because Pace was playing deep safety.
Gotta agree with this 100%. Especially at this time of year with cold nasty weather, this would be a good plan. If we have success running these plays, the predictability thing isn't a big factor if they can't stop it.
I don't wanna see that again, to be honest. I sure would want Joe McKnight to pay some dividend with a blocked punt to say the least.
