It would go a long way if our coaches would scout the opponent then devise a gameplan to attack their weaknesses. I suspect that they don't, scouting is minimal and the same plays/concept are installed every week no matter who they face.
This team isn't talented enough to "just beat your man", they need help and be put into the best position to succeed. The Patriots are a chameleon and can look different each and every week.
There are ways to help a struggling line or QB but it is rare to see it implemented here.
It is not all Linehan's fault but it is his job to work around our own weaknesses.
how do you know scouting is minimal? do you work at the cowboys facility? are you part of the scouting dept.? do you sit in the coaches room? and the plays/concepts are installed from play book. the game plan is made each week from the play book and the play book is revised through out the year.
and the patriots aren't chameleon's they run the same plays, over and over. they execute. they have the GOAT QB and probably the best coach ever. and when plays are there, they make it. Tom puts his WRs in position to succeed, he doesn't throw at their feet, or behind them or 8 miles above them.
there was a lot of execution mistakes made last week including by the OL. when players don't execute...what do you do? dumb it down? then the complaint will be the playbooks is highschoolish and too easy....
part of the problem is this group, really never played together in preseason
