Message: [QUOTE="OttosShoes, post: 5574006, member: 10231"] Not sure which thread this goes in, maybe it deserves its own, but an overlooked piece of this puzzle is the simplified playbook. On the surface it makes sense to boil it down to what your QB can run, but it doesn't just simplify things for our QB, it also simplifies things for the other team's defense. Take the first ND pick. Pretty simple curl route and the safety had initially dropped back. It shouldn't have been all that risky a throw. But you watch the tape and the safety closed in [I]hard[/I] before it was even clear Villari was going to curl. He knew it wasn't an out route, and he knew it wasn't going to be a deep ball. Way too risky to do that otherwise. [/QUOTE]
