Happens every year. I think more of it is predictive play calling. It's tough for six to block nin


we telegraph every play
no creativity in play calling
no use of speed and agile players in space
Les's philosophy and brand of football are known and teams gameplan around that

It's easy to stop us when you know exactly how to prepare for it. Eventually the smaller teams (and occasionally even the big ones) will get worn down by our coach's approach to football, but not always and the people watching will almost always leave unsatisfied with the product on the field.

I can't disagree with anything you've said. Except for one trick play now and then, we are extremely predictable on offense. More often than not, we can overcome that with talent, but it's seldom that Les will take any decent opposing coach by surprise. Because we aren't very imaginative with our play calling, we have to execute perfectly for it to work.

i'll bet you're sorry we don't run the spread.

newsflash; teams gameplan around EVERY COACHES PHILOSOPHY.

I disagree wholeheartedly that we telegraph every play. sure, we run a lot of the SAME PLAYS and opponents gameplan around those plays BUT run blitzes and stacking the box is a damn dangerous strategy against cam Cameron. many of our long successful pass plays are the result of this "gambling" by their D and they were burned for it big time. and, if AJ and the OL and RB can learn to execute the screen pass it will be even more devastating to the opposing D that stacks the box.

as far as "creative" play calling, i'm just gonna come right and say you don't know what you're talking about. occasionally you can fool a defense but consistently winning football games is about EXECUTION, not trickery.

That sounds like your personal problem. You bitch more after a win than anybody on this board... and the worst part is you don't know shite about football. It's so obvious you never played the game. Total x-box mentality.
