Flinging the ball around EVERY game is no more 'surprising' than ground Chucking it. An 'unknown' however can give you an added weapon, for a time. Point is: Diversity, and the willingness to coach it and then use it... and not at predictable times, I believe to be a must in today's game. Fisher running the Statue of Liberty twice a year doesn't qualify.
Which brings up... every person here who played football has heard their coach say that the play doesn't matter... it's execution, every play is designed for success. Truth in that, but it's not the 'whole' truth. If it were... why huddle? Simply line up and announce the play to both your team and the defense. I think Fisher's teams, (not literally but close enough), do just that.. line up and call the play aloud for the both our O and their D. Granted - Austin has them somewhat thinking out of the box. And it's not the 'play' itself, it's the timing of it... down, field position, time on the clock, etc. - JamesJM
To me that's all just preferences.
A balanced attack, a run-heavy attack, a pass-heavy attack--they can all be effective and productive if you have the players and so can execute it
Preferring they be diverse from week to week? Still just a preference.
OBJECTIVELY any one of those approaches can work (and we different ways each year how all of them DO work when teams have their approach up and running effectively).
I have no preference. If they play well and are productive, I am just fine with it. Whatever it is.
