BillsNutHawaii Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I like the strategy, it’s great - I don’t like the HC sharing all this information.... it can only help our opponents. No need to teach our opponents how they can also develop a competitive advantage. That’s one reason why Belicheck is so successful - he keeps his lips sealed (To the greatest extent possible - not withstanding media requirements). I know, queue the “Belicheat” moniker, but when you think about it, doesn’t “Find a way” essentially mean “anything goes” ??? I’m not implying anything, just throwing it out there for thoughts / discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 He sure comes up with some good platitudes, these need to be transferred into winning key games (vs Pats, playoff caliber teams in the regular season, playoff caliber teams in the playoffs). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my line of work (US Army) for 26 years made me that way - that’s my (lame) excuse. On another but similar note, HC John Harbaugh came to my Command (HQ, INDO-PACOM here on Oahu in Hawaii) to speak with senior leaders about military planning, strategy, operational concepts with the purpose of modifying and implementing these tactics into his football operation. In return he also shared some of his organizational practices with us. So in summary, the “over analysis” as you put it, has been and currently is quite prevalent in the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I don't like it. It is an expression that is used in situations when you are up against it or desperate. Screw the strange motto; that in itself doesn't fit with this team. The motto should be: No More Mottos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also replied to another comment in this thread about John Harbaugh and a meeting with him ... you may find it enlightening about how the modern NFL is functioning ....and then perhaps you’ll come to the conclusion my remarks aren’t really a stretch, or believe what you want, I’m certainly not pushing you....
