Here is the thing. Sherman has consistently shown an inability to deviate from whatever gameplan he chose for a given game regardless the effectiveness. He is not good at making adjustments at the half, he doesn't open up the playbook, and he has demonstrated no killer instinct. The only part of the offense that has consistently been effective is the 2 min. Seeing that how come Miami doesn't run more no huddle? Why so few passes to running backs? How come so few crossing routes? Why do we not hit wr running? Why do we call 6 yard routes when we need 8 yards? Why does he expect the rec to get YAC when we only have one guy that consistently does that? I'm not sure it's a lack of creativity as much as a refusal to accept his plan failed.
The WCO is an effective one, but there are varieties of it as well. What Green Bay does is different from Miami is different from Chicago is different from Washington is different from KC, all of whom run some version of the WCO. So what does Trestman do that Sherman doesn't? He hits guys in motion, he throws to Forte all the time, he runs a terrific misdirection pitch play. All of that is in Sherman's playbook, it sure isn't in his play calls.
Excellent post!
