It is the system... the system is what put players together, what assures/destroys the so-called \"chemistry\" among players, what utilizes and directs individual abilities in a group effort to accomplish a common goal (in layman\'s terms, \"playing as a team\"...

Tobias-Reiper --

First, I\'d like to say that was very well thought out and I agree with most of it.

But, IMO, the \"system\" is only as good as the players.

Systems are figured out and they are stopped.

The 46 defense of Buddy Ryan was one of the best ever. But the players had a lot to do with its success. Where\'s the 46 defense today? It\'s not even around anymore.

And I don\'t think the physical ability of most atheletes is that close either. A lot of players have it ... ALL ... size, speed, and strength. Most players don\'t possess all three.

While ceratain players are interchangeable in a \"system\", MOST are not. That\'s why \"systems\" fail after a certain amount of time.

At some point coaches don\'t have the \"talent\" to keep the winning going even though the system stays the same.

And that\'s why coaches like Jimmy Johnson, John Gruden, Bill Parcells, Dan Reeves, Jim Fossil, ect., ect., can\'t get it done.

Its because the \"talent\" level isn\'t the same and they have a hard time finding those \"superstar\" players at \"key\" positions.

Show me any super bowl team and they are full of talent.

Now, the system is very important. And talent is very important. So are \"smart\" players.

It\'s really a combination of all three.

But, I think it starts with the players and then its up to the coach to utilize those players.
