He subs RBs as much as ever, probably more this year when all are healthy.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.
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.
This had nothing to do with your claim.
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.
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 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.[/QUOTE]
Umm, he is running less shotgun than from 2007-2013. Yes.
That was proven by the numbers. It's not by much, but it's still true. His postseason INT rate also skyrocketed from 2007-2012, as well.
He was a better game manager from 2001-2004 under Weis than he has been under McDaniels/O'Brien. Only in 2014, when Blount came back and they started to run more, use more heavy sets, Gronk to block more, etc, keep him healthy, did this start to turn back for the better.
Enjoy the pass receiving by our RBs in Sunday and the West Coast-based concepts on your tv screen! I know I will as I have all year. Burkhead being ready to go and probably ready to go crazy, will be a good sight, too.
Thank to BB for making the tweaks and loading up on very versatile RBs like SF had in the mid 80s with Craig, Tyler and Carl Monroe.
"It appears" you get insecure when someone has more football knowledge than you, where you show you can't handle it.
