how many games do you hear an opponent say

we knew everything they were doing (and it sure looked like it).

it happens occasionally, but not very often. Remember Zach Thomas's comment after the Rams slammed Miami in 2001 - "I didn't recognize a single play" or something to that effect - I recall he even asked Az Hakim at one point "how many plays do you guys have" and Az says "a lot" or something like that. not the type of stuff you hear nowadays about this offense.

It may very well be a mantra but that doesn't mean its not true.
