Q: How did you approach the Denver game?

EDWARDS: “If they get 10 possessions, we need to try and hold them to two touchdowns and three field goals. What we had to do is, they do kick the ball off, because they score a lot. Hopefully it’s on field goals. We need to have our kickoff return team give us good return yardage so it’s on a short field. We have to take the ball away twice. We did it more than that. We did it four times.

“We were on the plus side of the 50, six times. Out of those six times, we scored four.

“The next key for us when we had the ball on offense, was to take the clock down, every time we had the ball, was to take the clock down to four seconds before you snap the football, to take time off the clock, so we could keep their offense off the field. That was a little bit of the plan we had and it came to fruition. We were going to run the ball. We weren’t going to get out of running the ball. To run the ball, you have to keep it to a one score game. You can’t go behind by two scores. If you do, they are going to put you in a position where you are going to have to throw and we didn’t want to do that. We wanted to stop them from running. We wanted them to throw the ball because we just felt if you throw the ball enough times, we can maybe take some of those balls, or hit the quarterback. We were able to.

“t kind of worked out for us. The plan kind of worked. You always have these plans before the game, you change the plan. The plan was good. For us scoring early was important; we haven’t had a lead. That’s why when we got down there, I was settling for field goals because I knew where we were at. If you don’t make it and you go for it on fourth down, that deflates this whole football team. That would deflate us. I wasn’t going to do that. We wanted to score and that’s what we were able to do.

“We ran the ball because we were trying to play small ball, not large ball. Take as much time as you can off the clock, Keep running the ball, keep running the ball. Don’t get into a passing game with them because it’s going to be difficult.”

I'll get killed for this. But here goes. Herm strikes me as the type of guy that is smart, but can't translate it into words. I've seen this before, a vendor of mine is the smartest guy I've ever met. But this guy is so smart, he can't explain things the way he thinks them. It's like his mind is working faster than his mouth.

But back on topic. We all(myself included) might disagree with Herm's philosophy, but I think he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. I disagree with his strategy, but he gameplans for a lot of different scenarios and thinks a lot of things through.

I think this is also why he's got so many soundbites that sound terrible.

I agree with this. Herm is obviously not the most articulate guy. I don't hold it against him.

Sooooo... I guess when your team wins noone calls you out on your conservative, go-for-the-field-goal philosophy. I'm glad the team won but, really, how many times can you get first and goal and settle for field goals and still win? I'm really surprised more people aren't talking about this and media types aren't asking about it.
