DATA. The league has access to more data on every aspect of our game time performance than ever and it's going to grow exponentially for decades to come. From play calling to formations to which linemen our DL line up closer to. The Rams were even examining which hand our DL had on the ground to determine which stunt was being called. Now add in artificial intelligence which is being used to predict play calls on specific down and yard situations and you have a predictability nightmare.
Guys like Mcvay counter that by running the majority of their plays out of the same formation. This makes it impossible for data analysis to make predictions ahead of the play and makes defenses....well look like we did on Saturday. Garrett on the other hand offers teams a thousand "tells" to choose from between our formations, player packages and motions. In the salary cap era and the immense amount of data being examined the coach is now the single most important factor for a team's success. Mcvay, Payton, Reid and Belichick says it all. All master chess players.
