McNair Welcome Today at Baptist Sports Park

we need to trade him, because with him costing so much, its just going to make us have a worse team

 

I like the point that some one brought up in another thread. Let Steve show up, throw to some WR, pretend he isn't going any where. Give him a playbook. Let him learn the plays. Then oooppppsss. He "lost" the play book. Come Ravens vs. Titans, the Ravens know the plays.:thumb:

 

mason and rolle already had our playbooks. a lot of good that did them.

 

with authori-tie

 

Want to bet that Mason didn't bring a Ravens playbook when he was here for a charity golf tourney a couple of weeks ago and "lost" it in McNair's vicinity?

 

i think teams see enough of each other through film study that knowledge of the opponenets playbook really doesn't mean as much as people think
you can learn alot how teams execute certain plays out of cetain sets

 

The whole playbook thing is blown way out of proportion.

Football isn't rocket science....I'll guarantee you that 90% of every team's playbook is the same as any other team. I mean, there are only so many variations on running off-tackle, or running a skinny post. The key is to keep the defense off balance, identify vulnerabilities, and take advantage of mismatches.

It's one thing to know what a team is going to do....stopping them can be another thing entirely.

 

exactly....

good example: when i played high school football for my state powerhouse team here in va, we had about 10-20 we scripted before each game, but no one could stop it any of them, i swear we had ran it out of atleast 10 different formations, and lemme tell ya the defense knew what was coming and they still couldn't stop us....

but of course that was high school and this is the nfl, but honestly, the only difference is the playbook is much bigger and more complex, especially as far as the play calling can go

high school play: Bunch right 80 Over X Stop and Go

pro play-twins right scram left 497 titan
the 4, 9, and 7 tell the X Z and Y receivers which routes to run basically and "scram left" would be the protection call, it may seem difficult to some

but to me, i study tape a lot and it just comes naturally to me, especially of the titans...

and lemme tell you folks something, if norm chow ever get the pieces together for his offense and makes it gel and work, lord how mercy, we will be a top 5 offense in the league guaranteed. something tells me VY and lendale are the final additions...

 

Isn't madden 06 using the real playbooks, lol.
