It seems to me that SP gets zero joy from calling running plays that aren't end arounds.


The methodical, steady, wearing down of a defense isn't glorious or ego stroking it seems.

I have no statistical basis for what I have posited

Only 11 years of watching him inexplicably, out of nowhere, abandon what is working.

Flame Away, but ask yourself how many times you wanted to rip the call sheet out of his hands.

I don't know why Guido doesn't agree with you. I most certainly do. Payton makes me shake my head sometimes with his play calling. I understand that he wants to confuse defensive coordinators and it works......mostly. Still, there are too many times that I just can't comprehend what he was thinking. He likes to outsmart his opponents but it doesn't always work and I'm left shaking my head.
