While LM as would any head coach has huge influence on the Offensive gameplan each week, to suggest the OC also has no influence would suggest either 1) LM leads by an autocratic dominant leadership style (which is not correct) or 2) LM lacks confidence on the OC ability to formulate a gameplan. If the latter is true, then get a top notch OC, pay them the way we pay a top notch DC, have input to the process to synergies decisions about the gameplan, but otherwise, empower the OC to drive the influence and decisions for the O and hold them accountable for the results. That's what leaders do.

I agree. Plus, how can some of you blame Mett when most of the night he didn't even have time to plant his feet after dropping back before he had pressure in his face

that's true but Mett's pocket awareness has been below average. when DE's rush up field Mett could've avoided about 1/3 of his sacks this year with a simple step up in the pocket and he fails to do almost every time. in sept and oct i gave him a pass. by dec this should be 2nd nature.

true good post.

i do think Les has an awful lot to do with gameplanning. but i think (my sources are in my head) that he probably doesn't override/suggest on field play calls as much as this crowd thinks he does.
