Message: <blockquote data-quote="musccy" data-source="post: 23608" data-attributes="member: 219">Simms highlighted the jump ball int between the cle db and Fergy.  In it he showed how all of the wrs were covered, however, what Brett failed to see or exploit was William Henderson sitting alone along the right sideline w/ nobody w/in 10 yards of him.  MS likely called the play, and it apparently worked, yet BRETT was the one that made the mistake, or failed to utilize his checkdowns.  This is just ONE example, but how often could this be happening?!?  We don't know because the cameras only show us where the ball is going...we can't see these other events that transpire.What's my point...MS could call the most brilliant play ever phatomned, but if the 11 players on the field don't execute, it doesn't matter worth a damn...and the thing is, unless you or I know who's responsible for picking up the blitz, when Driver is supposed to cut off his route, when Whittacker needs to pull for the screen, etc. we'll never be able to know if an unsuccesful play should be blamed for a lack of execution or a poor coaching decision.  In the case of the play I referenced, it's pretty obvious to me that it was a matter of execution.  How can you blame MS in a situation like that?!?  You just can't!I'm not so much a MS apologist, more that I realize that nothing is as cut and dry as "Sherman can't game plan."  If Bubba slips at the snap, thus can't pull to block for Green, or Driver is held up at the line, or Chatman doesn't turn around at the right time on a timing route...you and I likely would never know...but those are obvious examples of flaws in execution.  However, I know you would simply attribute it to idiocy on MS part.And you constantly say Sherman can't coach in a big game, or outcoach anyone, so I give examples of him beating some of the coaches you wish were Packers...Parcells, Fox, Belichek...but you do everything in your power to discredit him for those victories, but will stretch as far as you can to blame MS in a playoff loss.  And no, it was not JUST Brett...in the Carolina game, the blitz and Ahman's running beat the Panthers...I believe the Packers beat the Pats 28-6, which would suggest that the defense had some role in the victory...they beat Dallas 41-20 so obviously some offenseive play calls were working...but I know you'll find away to divert all of the credit from MS et al.</blockquote>
