He's had early success and was a breath of fresh air for this sad-sack franchise. But like a cult leader who keeps chanting the same thing - 11 personnel!. 11 personnel! he needs to grow and open up his approach. His signature - run many looks off the same groupings can be successful at times, but good defenses know how to attack it now - no mater how much pre-snap movement they do. I really think this is why they almost never come back from significant half time deficits. He seems to think that it's just execution that's the issue so he sticks with it till the bitter end. I don't think he can take the next step without being more adaptive- week to week, and drive to drive in the games. Why not some 12 personnel? Heck, go 4 wides with an empty backfield. Sometimes it's ok to win ugly - grind it out, dink and dunk and eat the clock. I don't think it has anything to do with 'softness' - whatever that means, it's more about adapting to what's there and not trying for force your fancy swiss watch gameplan through a demolition derby game.
