It's easy, and only takes a few moments.How does that relate to McDaniels claiming to not running a predictable, set offense, when it is blatantly obvious that he does? Why is he trying to pretend he runs some sort of amoeba, chameleon offense week to week when he doesn't?
Also, look at the proteges of coaches who have gone off from famous systems. Dungy came up with the Tampa 2, his proteges like Herm Edwards have tanked. Bill Walsh's assistants have had some success, because his system was so revolutionary. But Belichick has no set system, his system is game planning and adapting week to week, which is something McDaniels is NOT good at. So... things aren't looking too good for McKid since he won't have Tom Cool and an all star offense at every position to bail him out.
I have never heard the term Amoeba Offense before, but I saw it implemented virtually every week of the season at least since 2001.
All this time I was thinking it was the 'Nemesis' offense ... how could I have missed this? :confused2:
There is no coincidence that pre-McDaniels we used to regularly have the most different numbers of players with a catch or a TD in a season. With McDaniels you know that there are a few main targets who will always get their stats every single game.
I never said McDaniels was a bad OC, he was a very good one, just like Martz was. But both run very set offensive schemes that benefited from HOF talent where it didn't matter that the defense knew what was coming.
McDaniels isn't fooling everyone by going around lying about his 'amoeba', 'chameleon' offense.
I guess I never intended this to become a "did JMcD coordinate an offense that could morph into whatever could capitalize on the opportunities the Defense presents."
I was just wondering did McD just come around to naming the offense "Amoeba" in the recent days or was it always called that but I never caught on.

And it has nothing to do with Tommy trying to go for the big score instead of playing a more controlled game? Like trying to force the ball to Ben Watson against Indy while Heath Evans was wide open along the sideline?Brady's increase in post season interceptions under McDaniels is indicative of the fact that in certain situations, McDaniels is predictable beyond belief, and the opposing defense knows who is getting the ball.

The Boston media dubbed it the "Amoeba Offense" for its ability to adapt to its own personnel, or adjust to a defense.

The Boston media has never dubbed McDaniels' offense an amoeba or chameleon offense. Provide a link if this is true.
McDaniels has always run, just like Martz, the opposite of an amoeba offense. Both OC's are good and were blessed with ridiculous HOF talent on most positions, and ran the same punishing play calls which most teams could not stop, unless it was the playoffs.
2008: 5 players with TD catches, 11 players with catches
2007: 8 players with TD catches, 14 players with catches (granted one was Mankins with a deflected pass)
2006: 10 players with TD catches, 14 players with catches
2005: 11 players with TD catches, 17 players with catches
2004: 10 players with TD catches, 15 players with catches
2003: 8 players with TD catches, 16 players with catches
Hmm, 2008 only 5 players caught TD's, and in 2007 only 7 players (Mankins doesn't count).
That is a HUGE drop off from 11 players and 10 players with TD catches from 04-05.
Also, the players with catches is also a significant difference. Thanks for posting those stats, which only go to support the fact that McDaniels calls an EXTREMELY predictable offense, one that relied on HOF talent to succeed just like Mike Martz relied on... except Martz never tried to claim that he ran an 'amoeba' offense, like McKID did
