[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1087704, member: 17987"] This is kind of what I was getting at. It's just hard for me to see a good "Goldilocks solution" where we can both A.) Keep Matt and B.) minimize his weaknesses AND C.) Maximize his strengths For instance, I would say Matt has shown himself to be able to "craft" and install/implement an extremely [I]efficient[/I] offense. Even in what appears to be down periods our per-play efficiency is amongst the league's elite (but has also been amongst the league leaders in "explosive plays," too). In my estimation he is amongst the very best in the league when it comes to "game script". In the right circumstances I think we have seen that he can be versatile in approach too. Sometimes that is with an extremely patient run game and protection schemes that open things up for deep shots. Other times it's playing more tempo and more RPO to neutralize the opposing defense's front. But when I look at weaknesses... I think a lot of times LaFleur regresses in key situations to being conservative to a fault. He wants to play it safe, low-risk, and close out games with his "system" and solid defense. I think sometimes he wants to push the offense in a way that he might not necessarily have the personnel for. It's like in principle he wants to be able to play aggressive QB-driven football, but when push comes to shove, under pressure in practice he reverts to playing conservative, "system-driven" football that takes the game out of his QB's hands. And so there is this weird identity confusion that comes out at times. And so I'm just not sure the best way to minimize that. At bare minimum it seems like we need a much stronger hand as assistant head coach. Someone who can help manage in-game pressure situations and push LaFleur to not revert to playing scared. We also seem to have a serious discipline issue that tends to crop up at the worst moments. Not really sure the best way to mitigate that either. [/QUOTE]
