Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 4734032, member: 297"] I don't believe that. I believe we failed to execute and walked away from it. Yep. See, but how? What have they actually done differently? What innovation occurred on defense that every (or at least most) programs on our schedule were able to plug into their existing defensive philosophy that "figured out" the offense? And even though nobody runs that offense anymore supposedly, they all still devote practice time scheming to take it away? It doesn't make sense, and we never hear about it. I think it's just something that gets said. What makes way more sense is some mix of it not clicking with DeVito and the offensive line after Dungey, we couldn't protect him anyway, gave starts to limited backup QBs, the defense needed help so we got conservative, we found something in Tucker, and Shrader wasn't a guy at that point that was going to throw the ball all over. We changed. [/QUOTE]
