TBN Dunne lays it out all neat and tidy, Wade & Rex.

“Coaching is adapting to what your players can do, not what you can think of,” Phillips said earlier in the week. "Are you too rigid that you can only play one scheme one way? I've just never coached that way."

Nearly every chat with a Denver defensive player in Santa Clara this past week felt like an indictment of Ryan’s scheme. Players gushed over Phillips, repeatedly, because he kept it simple. Straightforward. Let them all attack with a clear mind. Took their advice.


“He lets guys loose to where you don’t have to study as much what you have to do,” DeMarcus Ware said. “You see the tendencies of other teams… you get instinctive-type players and that’s why he’s always been a really good coach.”

Maybe it will be better after we rebuild what we didn't have to.

What, you don't like changing the defensive play call 2 seconds before the snap?

"See ball, get ball,” added Derek Wolfe.

“That is what defense is all about you know. Obviously there are other moving parts, but for the most part see ball, get ball. He keeps it simple for us.”

And there was inside linebacker Preston Brown last summer, staying awake until 2 a.m. many nights studying Ryan's defense. Yet as one accomplished offensive-minded NFL head coach said recently, “Football is checkers, not chess.” Indeed, Super Bowl 50 was a devastating game of checkers.
Phillips forced the league's MVP, Cam Newton, to be a passer and Newton failed miserably.

He failed as a passer? How many dropped balls were there. How many times was he hit? Other qbs faced the same issue with mvp breed as well. Seems like a poster just doesn't like cam and just doesn't know why

Cam clearly failed as a passer. Sure, there were drops, but he was off target all night long. He had no rhythm, and just seemed completely off his game the whole night.

They did to Cam what they did to Flutie back in the day. Keep him in the pocket and make him pass.

If Rex read this sentence he wouldn't understand it, rather tilt his head like when you're talking to a dog. He can't process this information.
