    Teams run plays from the same formation all the time, its actually impressive anytime a player picks up on teams intentions like with Devin McCourty here. This just shows you why its important to have quality players around.

    Wish our FS had those same anticipation skills.

    Wow I didn't know that Belichick did cool things like that. I love it when our coaches break things down for us.

    we were so bad the Colts coulda ran the same play all 60 or so plays and still made us look like a crappy team, we had so many inexperienced guys playing for us

    I dount Belichick is being literal about the number, plays there are only so many routecombos to run it is unlikely you can run a unique play every time (given the variables of down and distance). However his point is still valid, if you go to the well too often it will run dry.
    I also think he is only speaking to pass plays, I doubt any team can have +30 unique run plays in a game (unless you count different formations and motions)

    Theres about 5 running plays in football (A-gap, B-gap, C-gap, D-gap, and outside runs), how you block them can create more tho.

    This isn't uncommon.

    Broncos ran the same play back to back with Peyton missing Sanders deep on both passes.

    But still huge difference between zone blocking and power run schemes. Plus double pulling guards, cut blocks, delays, sweeps, traps.

    If You can run the ball effectively - there's more than enough variations and formations to keep the defense on it's heels.
