Scary sentence. Beyond scary.
This is where the tape stuff is taken to bizarre extreme and conclusion. Football is glorified chaos. That’s by definition with 22 guys on the field at all times. The intentions may seem swell before launch but once that play begins the permutations are endless. Consequently it’s all about instincts, angles, smarts, determination and raw ability.
Scheme would rank near last on the list, and certainly below anything above.
That will outrage the tape/adjuster crew but they make a career of overstating all minutiae. A full week between games and a seventh month offseason enable that type of malformed focus.
Build a great player and he will come and make plays. That so-called system deficiency is wiped out within two steps, once the new guy is glaringly superior to all our wonderful perfect pegs of yore. Gad, did you see that?
As always, outliers are meaningless. Interneters love to scramble for the deflective exception, as if they have diffused. The scrambling proves the point.
More often than not. The high end here isn’t even visible from lowlands occupied by the scheme exceptions.
I have little doubt the Dolphins brass have similarly obsessed over scheme in recent years, largely explaining our remarkable lack of undeniably great players. It shouldn’t be possible to avoid that type as dependably as we have.
