Still? All? I never did that in the first place. But even if I did it would be no more proposterous than people who suggest that if we just change coaches it's magically take us to the promised land because we have "all" this talent.
My contention is simple. It doesnt matter all that much what scheme you use if you're shy on players. We're still shy on a few players.
No different than when Jimmy got here. Finally get a winning record in '91 by getting more and more players over time, win a playoff game... then get hammered in the 2nd cause once again still not quite having enough players showed itself.
The run of the mill 4-3 was fine. Switching schemes wouldnt have helped. Getting Haley and Kevin Smith helped.
Swapping out a couple players in our front 7 right now would help too. Course that would be true whether BP is around or not. Which is why I dont care whether he's around or not. If I were to truly advocate that he go, that wouldnt be the specific reason why anyway.
Your still citing pre-Salary Cap examples which are pretty impossible to achieve in today's NFL. You simply can't just load up with so much talent that you can blow the other team off the field with sheer ability of your players.
The Patriots and Saints don't have better players than most of their opponents... but their scheme and how well they execute it is what enables them to have success. Today's NFL is ENTIRELY dependent upon scheme and execution... if you have the right scheme to suit the quality players that you have, and those players execute it very well, then that's the team that has success.
It might be entirely true that we need to replace a couple of players in our front 7, but, as of yet, we have not used a scheme that will enable them to be successful.
Do you believe that playing Roy Williams in a Cover 2 scheme that puts him in deep coverage responsibilities almost every single play enables him to be as successful and the best player that he can be?
Do you believe that a scheme that ends up having Demarcus Ware in coverage more than rushing the passer enables him to be the best player that he can be?
That's my point. I've seen so many football teams that use a scheme that maximizes their player's potential and the player's execute that scheme well enough to where they can beat another team with a great deal more talent.
