Re: Bart Scott to Dareus : " Can't Put Playbook in Crayon"
If you read the article, Dareus is suggesting it may have been too complicated for "some players...". He's not saying it was too complicated for him.
Just sayin'."You can't be a real country unless you have beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need beer."

Re: Bart Scott to Dareus : " Can't Put Playbook in Crayon"
I think he's using "too complicated" to describe the roles and responsibilities of the Dline. I think he's right, I really only want him doing one thing: Blow up the big dude in front of you and then tackle the little guy with the ball.
I get that sometimes he should blow up the big dude to the left or the right, or run behind Kyle... but I don't think that's what he's saying is too complicated.

I think Doug Whaley belongs in college football. He puts together teams of athletes with $100 MIL measurables and 10¢ heads.
You can win that way at Alabama or Ohio State or LSU. You can "out-athlete" your opponents, running Pop Warner schemes that can be grasped by your mentally deficient players.
But you can't win that way in the NFL. You have to be athletic and smart.
Whaley really doesn't get that. This will be a losing franchise until he is gone.

A perfect example is the drafting of Watkins and free agency signing of Clay. Both great talents, but not great moves for this team because the price for both was far too high for a team with no QB and many other holes to fill."Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."

Originally posted by Thurmal View PostHe's a strange case as far as talent evaluation is concerned. He is pretty good at picking up guys off the scrap heap in free agency and getting decent value for them, but cannot draft well and has no concept of establishing team identity or chemistry. He just acquires talent for the sake of talent, with no care as to how players will complement one another.

Re: Bart Scott to Dareus : " Can't Put Playbook in Crayon"
Dareus and Scott are clearly talking past each other here. Dareus was not saying the offense was too complex for him specifically, he cast that allegation over several people. And Scott responds by pointing out how "simple" the playcalls are, but what Dareus said was that the adjustments were what screwed them up. Considering that Scott played 11 years in the Ryan D vs. Dareus playing in 4 systems in five years, I can see why Scott would think it's simple and Dareus would think it's difficult.
