That preseason story reminds me of Steve Spurrier going extra hard and celebrating wins in his first preseason with Washington. People don't realize this but Spurrier's offense actually looked unstoppable during his first preseason in Washington. They were lighting everybody up.

Spurrier came into the NFL about 15 years too early. I think he could scheme up a very effective NFL offense now.

Spurrier's offense relied on finding the best matchups on offense and calling the same plays over and over. It worked well in CFB, especially at Florida, but it's hard to find success doing that when you only get to pick maybe 10 guys a year for your team (with maybe 3 of them actually being good enough to play)
