Hoss variations
It's not just that other coaches are not willing to call something not within the gameplan concept for the given Sunday but often that their players cannot handle something beyond a simple number of "adjustments." This is the downside of drafting pure talent. There are many complaints here that we've let plenty of talented player "slip" through our hands, but you can be pretty sure that it's because their football IQ just isn't capable of handling something out of left field.
The variations available to McD that he can throw out there at any given day is exponentially deeper than what most teams are capable of employing, what with the concepts, formations, protections, et al. and the mid-game adjustments that are the icing on the cake. We'll go on trying different combinations long after most teams have emptied their bag of tricks, and this has always been my favorite part of the game to watch.
