Good.
At this point, Mama, I'm ready to send him along...
Last year his appareent change in dfensive philosophy concurred with having different players ready-to-go in his defensive backfield. That, and as we both noted on your thead, the concurrent verbal motivation, shall we call it, from Ramsey and McVay.
He was brought in to run Wade Phillips' defense, the bend-don't break soft zone and big rush scheme designed to take away big passing plays from an O that is playing catch-up to compliment your own O taking an early lead.
I don't like that approach. From Lovie Smith it was instrumental (but far from the whole reason) in our Super Bowl loss against New England.
Last night I saw a regression to that defense instead of sticking to what gave us victories down the stretch, through the playoffs, and in the Super Bowl.
We remember Einstein's quote about insanity - doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. What would Einsten call giving up what works, and going back to what you know, from having done it over and over, doesn't?
Maybe Einstein missed his calling. He should have been a football coach.
