Of course you don't limit the rest of the offense, but Stallworth is too talented to get as little out of his role as he did. Whose fault was it, his or McDaniels? I am assuming both, but as I said, as a coach it is your job to get the most out of your players that you can and I don't feel that was done in this case. You can't say things were 100% on Donte as you did ealier. I am not very hung up on the demotion, I actually didn't even mention it.So you make Brady and the rest of the offense less effective to accomodate Stallworth? Sorry, there are 53 men on the team and it is every man's responsibilities to learn the plays. There is only so much a coach can do. That is why Belichick runs tests on opponents and if you don't pass, you don't play. Belichick expects a lot out of his players. Besides, who said it was McDaniels' decision or at least his sole decision. Belichick could have made this decision to demote him in favor of Gaffney.
Sorry, everyone's playbooks have presnap adjustments. All the adjustments are intertwined with each other. You can't in many cases have one player change his route without every player changing his route.
Then what is a hot route...? The point I was making though, was that you really have no idea if Moss or Welker struggled with or what changes were made in practice. You are just making blanket statements putting all the blame on Stallworth and none on McDaniels.
Both my posts on the subject said he didn't make the necessary adjustments, not that he didn't make any adjustments.I disagree that McDaniels didn't make adjustments at all. You can argue he made the wrong adjustments, but he clearly made adjustments.
