The excessive plays and the mind-boggling number of options of those plays, along with the wordy terminology, Haslett said, contributed to the mental errors and pre-snap penalties that have plagued the offense.

I see, all pre-snap penalties like jumping offside, misalignments, illegal motions, etc. are the QB\'s fault. Man, why didn\'t I see that.

Regardless of the intelligence of our players, it is the coaches\' job to design an attack that is fit to the players. If your players are dumb, you need to do things to disguise offensive and defensive plans that do not rely on players making adjustments on their own. This can be done. In fact, it can be done without making the plays more obvious by eliminating needless verbage, extra check downs, etc, and merely better (more accurate) playcalling.

This is a sign of a problem with our COACHING not our players.

Simplification in itself is not bad, it is the kind of simplification that matters.
