GP1 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 I believe his initial philosophy was to get as many snaps as he could on offense. It's a misguided philosophy. It's the kind of view of football that I think people will look back on in 25 years and wonder what coaches were thinking. The purpose of the offense is to get as many yards and score as many points as possible. If a team scores seven TDs on seven plays in the first 20 minutes of a game, or seven TDs on 60 plays in 60 minutes, it doesn't really matter. Get yards, not plays. If a team can get yards and first downs, everything else falls into place....time of possession, a rested defense that can be smartly aggressive, more creative play calling, offensive balance, long fields for the other team's offense, etc. I like the coach is reviewing his thinking about this issue. It show intelligence. Quote
