Are you done rambling and not making any counter points yet? Aren't you the guy who thinks the Pats don't use any West Coasdt concepts, like timing routes ,where the ball is out, focusing on YAC, passing a lot to the RBs, etc?
lol
I thought you had accepted you were wrong that the patriot offense is a west coast offense. I think that discussion ends when you “proof” was we are running less shotgun, and I showed you the facts that we aren’t.
Keep thinking that BB loading up on RBs, shifting the focus of the offense to versatile RBs that can do it all pretty well, is somehow an accident just like when he shifted the offense in 2007 or 2010, the latter for TEs, Gronk and Hernandez.
He hasn’t shifted the focus at all. He brought gillislee in to take blount role. Then he failed and Lewis took it. Lewis wasn’t even catching passes until burkhead and white went out. 16 targets in the 12 games and only 10 in the first 9.
It's what BB does. He shifts the offense around, where the focus is, every 2-3 years, when pother teams try to draft or sign guys to counter.
This had nothing to do with your claim.
Enjoy watching some good running against a mediocre Run D on Sunday and watching Jax struggle to cover the TEs and RBs just like Tenn and then you think of the 1984 49ers again and how the Pats offense looks just like that this year.
The patriot offense only resembles the 84 niners by being good. The schemes are very different.
[quite]YES. Thank god, BB has loaded up on versatile weapons for Brady, namely at RB, where there is no reason to sub the RBs as much as they had in the past, which was their downfall in 2 SB losses. When you can predict if it's a run or pass, over and over, and over, painfully so, so consistently, that's a problem.[/quote]
He subs RBs as much as ever, probably more this year when all are healthy.
This is where you are off track.
It has never been predictable because of personell. Playing the guy who is the primary runner on running downs and running the same frequency as everyone does in running durns is not a tip off. The patriots threw the ball 228 times with blount in the field last year. When you look at the dorm and distance he was in the field for that is a typical run/pas ratio for that down and distance. If you seriously think guessing run or pass 60% effectively passed upon down and distance Is shocking you should study up on football some more.
It's all right there in front of them.
It would seem that you have some novice football fan misconceptions that you are unwilling to view objectively so you and I discussing football isn’t going to go well. I’m going to do my best to just disregard your posts.
Perhaps there are other posters you can have better discussions with.
