Exactly. No one expected young players to be like veterans, we expected the team to look like it had the largest coaching staff on the league preparing them to not look like they had not practiced at all with repeated procedure penalties.

It reminded me of when I was a kid (back in the dark ages) and would play organized youth sports, and there were two kinds of coaches you could have. One kind was the guy that had everyone practice drills and awareness exercises, and helped kids learn from the bottom up, so to speak. And the other kind was the guy that just wanted everyone to have some fun and would just let everyone play for a couple of hours as the practice, and spend minimal time on things like understanding the rules or how to do the basics.

Watching the Jaguars vs the texans yesterday made me think of the Jaguars as being coached by the latter kind of coach and the Texans being coached by the former kind.
