That's an excellent question.

I think it comes down to knowing the rules and taking advantage of them. That's what good coaches do, isn't it?
That is identical to the way a rugby maul moves the ball forward. We don't allow blocking, but we allow and encourage a good push to gain a territorial advantage.

The 2011 debacle when they didn't understand how to cover the TE, Vernon Davis, and the two last second losses whose plays would not exist if he had used the ruse Belichick used with an on purpose penalty to run clock; that rule was subsequently removed, of course, after BB used it.
Coach Vrabel did it too.
What two losses? Vikings and Rams?
