Marroneball

By this point it's obvious that the Saint's offense was really Sean Peyton's offense, not Marrone's. Much like New England's super bowl winning years...Romeo Cranell (sp) was the DC but everyone knew it was Bellichek's defense.

The best thing about this thread? The Frances the Talking Mule reference. Go Army!

From time to time someone cites the expertese of the coach as a response to someone's point. But if we took that to it's logical extension, this board would serve no purpose. It's an outlet for the opinions of the fans, not a cheering section for the coach. I have alot of respect for Marrone but I think when you have a passer and receivers like the ones we have and two smallish but quick running backs, trying to "establish the run" to set up the pass rather than using the pass to open things up for the run is folly. That opinion may be incorrect but it's the only one I've got.

Of course, this is all discussion - and it's fun.

I think you might be overestimating the talent level of the players you cite.

And, I think you're not fully accounting for the passing that we are seeing.

When the Orange had to score against a good Toledo team - it did so - essentially through the air.

The amount of passing I think is comensurate with the talent level.
