The offense is praised for combining technical execution with a strategic ability to exploit defensive rules, posing a significant challenge for both players and coaches.
Yeah, I mean, there's very little weakness to his offense.
It starts with the run game.
Obviously, they're number one in the rush for the entire league,
and it's not a real close second, in my opinion, to what they do.
The level of precision, execution, scheme is elite,
but then you combine that with a real style of play,
physicality, a finish.
so they're going to test you schematically technically
and physically and everything
in between so it's a it's a great challenge
in that way yeah I mean there's there's countless
challenges to tell you the truth like he's he's got his staples
and and what they do every week
they do at the highest level you know
and you can tell there's high level precision there's great
coaching there's great detail
and like I already said there's a great you know style of play that
that comes with all that, which is very unique in my opinion.
And then there's this other part
of the offense that's very designer feeling
from the standpoint of like he's going on deep dives
to really figure out the rules of your defense.
And then, all right, where do you play what?
And then within those windows,
how can I challenge those defensive principles?
So it's one of those things, you've got to keep moving the target
and keep moving the stress point
and you got to be very diligent about what you're calling and when
you're calling it so it's going to be a great challenge
for the players it's going to be a
great challenge for our coaches
and myself as well that to me it's like they say front side
wins games backside win championships the same thing
for defense for offense like the great
offense is their backside
which typically that's like the 70 play for some offensive players like
i just got to cut this guy off like they take it
to another space where it's i'm going to cut you
off I'm going to put you into the ground
and I'm going to go second level and cut that guy off as
well so our backside pursuit our cutback players we have
to fight the crossover we have to have
great discipline in that way
and we got to trust that the front side is going to take care of their
job you know but they do a great job on the backside
and that I really think that's part
of their style of play
