Re: McDaniels:We're not going to put up 13 points tomorrow
But if this has been happening for as long as you say (which I won't deny is happening, I just don't think it's that big a deal), at some point BB would put a stop to it... if he disagreed with it philosophically, which he doesn't seem to.
Middle of a game, I agree with you, he's not going to go over his coordinator's head. Over the course of a several years, you better believe he'd step in if he felt it was ineffective.
Belichick gives TONS of leeway to his coordinators, look at how different our defense has looked under Romeo, Mangini, and Pees. During games Belichick basically doesn't even tell McDaniels what to do, the OC is running the show.
As I said, McDaniels comes in with good game plans, like we saw yesterday. I am speaking generally that he still has flaws, such as in-game adjustments IF it isn't working.
