[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1079901, member: 7261"] Kind of like the 4th and 1 play against the Eagles? ;) I have to agree with the concept of using Willis occasionally. The proof for doing so was apparent against the Giants and last year when he filled in for Love. Imagine had the Packers trotted out Willis on that 4th and 1 play against the Eagles. The defense would have been like "oh heck, we didn't study for this, what are they pulling?" Instead, MLF went to his tired and old bag of "tricks" and ran a play that the Eagles had seen on film a number of times in the game. I think their defense was more prepared for the play than our offense. I've said it before, I don't watch a ton of other games. However, when I do, I take mental notes of what other teams are doing. Keeping the defense guessing seems to be an offenses biggest weapon. One another note. I also couldn't help but notice something in the Bronco's-Chiefs game. Tony Romo was doing the commentary and was talking about Denver's young QB Bo Nix. He made a comment that basically said "Sean Payton isn't doing Bo any favors by not getting the play calls in faster, he needs to allow his QB more time to walk up to the LOS and get a good look at what the defense is doing, so he can audible out if necessary." Lights started flashing in my head, this is exactly the problem I have been complaining about with MLF for years. Love and the offense are often huddled up painfully long and its obvious that he is waiting for the play call to come in from MLF. The communications from MLF to Love cut off at 15 seconds left on the play clock, but if MLF is waiting to finish his play call transmission at that mark, he's not putting his QB or his offense in a good position by doing so. He's forcing Love to tell everyone else what the play is, have them all process it and get set at the LOS. Meanwhile, the play clock is rapidly approaching zero and Love's ability to process what the defense is up to is all but gone. Do better MLF and if you can't....let someone else call the plays.
