Dan Orlovsky (Go UConn!) has been killing the play calling/design for weeks now and he seems pretty on point. Mac hasn't played well but this little Matty P experiment is killing Mac.
End of the season how about after the bye week?? Mac have two weeks to get his feeble act together.
Who's in charge of play calling?
That one guy did come open in the flat and it looks like Mac was locked on to the guy on the outside on the other side of the field. Between the play calling/design and Mac not going through his reads we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
Came in here to say this. People are searching for something. This literally happens every game, every week in the NFL. There guys have been playing since 10, coached up and playing with familiar faces. Played or coached up on every scheme under the sun. Film study every week.So much speculation and guessing on these plays. Then there are 5 clips, but 3 of those clips are of the same play. You know SOMETIMES a run formation is actually going to be.....a run.
I find this to be such a non-story. This is NOT some kind of f*cking revelation. Great LB's are students of the game, who work hard at it and look to find tendencies and tip offs that just add to their physical gifts. Leonard and Mosley are both top end ILBs The only difference is Bill will praise a guy like Mosley and then break EVERY key the guy might have on us the next time we play them.
What you DON'T hear is Bill telling the media how he picked about the Colts offense because they found multiple keys that told them where they were going with the ball.
Instead we are now going to have this narrative that the Pats are the ONLY team in the league that have down, distance and formation tendencies OH MY!
BELIEVE me, that after every game there is a quality control nerd who pores through the game tapes just looking for players who may be leaning, change their stances, or based on the size of the splits in their alignments etc, and documents them and makes sure they are given to the players to work on.
Every team has them. What do you think the defense works on for the entire week. Not only the plays they have seen from this weeks opponent, but what the adjustments they think they will make if the Pats stop them. Yes Martha, it really IS a chess game.
Yes of course it all starts at the top. Dysfunctional Oline, starting QB whose confidence is shot and no true #1 target. He does though also deserve credit for how the defense has been playing(cept the Bears game) and how it looks like he might have found another star CB in the making in Jack Jones. It goes both ways
