It isn't the run to pass ratio...
It isn't the number of passes in a row when we should be running...
It's not the choice of running vs. passing...
It is the concept of what play he calls at what time. It has happened all year. IF we broke down the game films we could find hundred of places where a play with a low percentage of success was called.
A few examples:
Half Back option
Inside Flanker Screen
Misdirection bootleg screen on 3rd and less than 1...and on and on and on...
I ask myself. Would Levy (or his staff) call that play in that situation? Would Parcells? Would Walsh? Would Landry?
If it doesn't pass that acid test then the answer is--dumb call.
1. Do you have to try new things? Yes.
2. Do you have to switch things up and not be predictable? Yes
3. Do you have to be smart enough to play the hand dealt you and put your players in a position to succeed? Yes.
Painfully, KG fails on number 3.
