Its interesting -- I've said all season that I don't think Andy 'saves the good plays' rather I think he's a guy who won't spam the ones that work in the regular season.
But I'm not seeing that against Houston and Pitt.
Those all look like spamming a couple of very similar concepts and they all look to be largely built around a smash sort of concept. Slot fades, corner/flats -- stuff like that. And the reason Andy doesn't spam that stuff is that he doesn't want to give coaches the tape to diagnose/attack them. I mean if I'm watching those weeks and I'm a DC, I'm coming out with a heavy Cover 3 gameplan because about none of what I'm seeing there should work against that.
But think about those bunch sets we like that we LOVE running the slot crosser from -- we can't run that with the short drops and that stuff MURDERS Cover 3.
With Thuney, I think we give teams about 60% as much to worry about. From a schematic standpoint, it's not working with one hand behind your back, but maybe with one hand in a cast or something.
Now execution takes priority over scheme. If you just can't execute the whole playbook, so be it.
I'm just not convinced that's the case. Or not convinced it's any more likely to be the case with Humphries at LT than Thuney.
