The funny thing is that he ran RPOs and play action with great frequency in Philly and they still do that even after he’s gone.  We’re not featuring that as such a big part of this offense though.  Have to wonder if it’s because they like Trevor’s abilities more as a traditional pocket passer or whether Press Taylor has a different philosophy and more input in the offensive scheme than we realize.

Or maybe Doug’s philosophy has changed.  On a broader philosophical level, this offense still seems to have a “take what the defense gives you” mentality as he mentions in the video.

I think it’s along the lines of what Vic used to point out; you build your schemes around players not the other way around. That’s what seperates the good coaches from the bad. 

All I can remember is 2008 off-season, hiring Gregg Williams and fans going nuts; celebrating that we would have an attack defense that Williams was famous for. Problem was we didn’t have the kind of personnel for that, and when we tried, the opponents ate our defense alive.
