Payton-Haslett

We're getting to know our new HC. Thusfar, not perfect but I am very happy. Not just with wins but the overall play. For a group that seemed to lack so much in talent they certainly are performing well. We were the #1 UNDERachieving team in the league after Haslett's first year. That way, so long and so much that people quit expecting anything and started predicting failure- which inevitably came hurricane or no hurricane. I am loving the OVERachievers label! That makes me anxious to see what happens with even more talent added to the mix.

I was reading something on PFT about the Fins that crystalized something I think is a most basic difference between the Haz years and the new regime.l Tell me if you agree...

We're firm believers in designing an offense each year to fit the specific strengths (and hide the weaknesses) of the players who'll be executing it. A playbook, in our view, is a fluid, dynamic thing, which should be changed on the fly as necessary. The job for the coaches is to understand what the personnel can and can't do, and instead of trying to get the players to do things they can't the coaching staff should put together an attack that highlights the things they can.
