If that is the case then its almost to disheartening to consider. We hired Brian Daboll in mid-January. They had 5 months to get it together.
We haven't had free agency. We haven't had trades. We haven't had workouts. We have only had the draft and, lets face it, we did nothing to surprising or out of character there. This was, without a doubt, the easiest offseason to take care of problems like this, there was simply nothing else happening! So why wasn't this taken care of?
I believe it was Mr. Magoo who said it in the main thread concerning this topic: Tony Sparano would not accept this excuse from one of his players. Why should he be able to get away with a blunder this bad?
There are certain parts of a playbook you can put together regarding current players under contract, but don't you think that without knowing who is going to be drafted, it's hard to put together a viable playbook that plays to the strength of your players?
If we are only talking about passing plays, I agree, it's inexcusable to not have those prepared. However, what about running plays? They don't have a true starting running back under contract, and until they know who may be the man for that role, they can't really draw up specific plays. Surely you don't want them to draw up specific plays for Lex Hilliard, right?
In short: I understand why they couldn't hand out a *complete* playbook. However, passing plays should have been signed, sealed and delivered.
