Nothing's dubious about the quote, meaning yeah BB did say that (except that Wade's defense beat the Patz in the playoffs in 2015 and held them to 13 in the superbowl 2018).
What's dubious is how the writer uses it.
The things he tries to link up together are not the same things. Yeah WP has run a 1-gap 3/4 for 30 years. That doesn;t mean he doesn't gameplan or scheme. Yet the writer acts like those 2 ideas link up when they don't.
The writer strings together several unrelated things and acts like they're related.
And btw in case you're wondering my issue here is just bad writing.
I can see why McV fired WP and if McV hires a good replacement I won't have an issue with it.
But bad writing is bad writing. Whether you agree with its point of view or not.
....
key thing: “He’s been doing it for 30 years in multiple organizations with
multiple groups of players against
every kind of offense he could see
that seems to cover the writer pretty good. His thesis tied to a salient quote. Perfect writing. I think those things link up and the link is the quotes. It shows that one reason Phillips wasn't rehired is lack of flexibility.
Again, you can disagree, but that's better writing and logic than you usually find. Well done him
