Well we kept tryin to find ways to back the safeties off the run...guess we found it.
I guess there could be something to this kind of thing but I often find that when a "Ewing Theory" thing happens, its often a sign of bad coaching IMO. The Brady/Bledsoe thing doesn't seem to apply IMO because Brady is just plain a better QB than Bledsoe.
Anyway like I was saying about bad coaching we keep talking about backing off the safeties backing off the safeties etc...but shouldn't a great RB that makes a defense always know where he's at on the field at all times, provide you with more opportunities and more options rather than less?
I'm not discounting this theory. In fact I think it could be more true than normal for us in particular because the last two times we made the playoffs, were without Ricky Williams in a Dolphins uniform. But to me, this is a sign of bad coaching.
Teams aren't going to respect our passing game because our QB will be either Jay Fiedler or AJ Feeley, and teams aren't going to respect our running game because our RB will be Travis Minor. This will mean that defensive coordinators will play us however they want to play us, whatever defense works for them best, because we have no particular tendancies or strengths that scare them. For bad defenses, we may be able to find ways to take advantage, because their inability to focus on a particular player or phase of the offense, may lead them to be a little more unbalanced. For good defenses, this will probably work out very badly because they can play their base defense and have their way with us, and AJ Feeley would need to prove to be the next Steve McNair to make it all work.
Either we're going to sink far and fast, or this Williams thing will prove to be a polarizing force for this team but if that were to happen, the players still rule this game and someone will have to step up. Travis Minor would need to show me something that to date he has not...AJ Feeley or Jay Fiedler would have to show us something that to date they have not...
