Wow what a statement. You've backed yourself into such a corner that you've just lied to try and muck up the discussion. The funniest part is that you are willing to converse for 5 pages, but are too lazy to go back and read prior posts.
Below will sum up this entire argument
"A system for dummies isn’t better than a system that utilizes the players intelligence to an advantage.
The system has worked fine. It has been extraordinarily effective. Dumbing it down would have made it less effective."--Ring 6
5 year veteran, first round pick Isaiah Wynn last week.
"I feel like they took a little but of thinking for us, you know what I'm saying? They kind of dumbed it down so everybody could play faster."
Which you then dismissed because of your ego. Its ok though, youre a nobody just like the rest of us
So you don’t understand.
1) The Patriots have run the same offense since Belichick arrived
2) Every year they make changes.
3) There is a deep and diverse playbook of which parts are used for scheme and gene plan week to week and season to season.
4) As it grows each year, they will from time to time trim it back.
5) This analysis is done in the off-season. The last 2 off seasons this was done in anticipation of Legarm Newton begin the QB.
6) This year it is being done with Mac Jones engrained and no qb on the roster who can’t their and has to run a lot. So naturally there is more than typical change.
7) An offensive playbook contains many concepts, packages and schemes. Football teams INSTALL their offenses completely over the course of training camp.
8) It is not uncommon to start (especially for Belichick) with things you did less of last year and may or may not do more of this year. A common practice is to install more unique lesser used stuff early and then bring it back at times you will use it. But focus the meat of camp on the schemes you will use most often.
9) So what you do in the first 2 days has little meaningful causation to what you will do in the season.
10) Streamlining means eliminating what is no longer necessary. It doesn’t mean dumbing down. It doesn’t mean being less complicated. It doesn’t mean changing the offense.
11) Why now? The last 2 off seasons were Newton centric so there is more to eliminate now. McDaniels put his imprint on the offense for 10 years. Belichick gave him a lot of freedom to do things he liked. He is fine so belichick is likely scrapping pieces that he reviewed and didn’t like going forward.
You are well aware that the discussion started with the idea the passing game is too complex and receivers fail, and my post you responded to was that it would be stupid to turn a successful site read passing game into a rudimentary one for the sake of ocho cinco. So your comments that followed were arguing the idea that basic tenants of the offense such as that are being changed.
Oh and as far as Wynn, what he is exposed to in the first 2 days of practice is his blocking assignments. Given they are removing the qb run schemes, and mostly eliminating the FB position there is little doubt that there will be some level of simplification of the decision making of an OT. Given that we know they have worked more heavily on the zone blocking schemes first, if you know anything about OL play you would realize that a zone block call is “dumbed down” for an OL because it removes a lot of decision making of who your assignment is based upon alignment. If you really think Wynn is talking about the complexity of play design, the receivers responsibilities in the passing game, or the depth of the packages they will install and draw from, I don’t know what to tell you.
