Pilgrim on a Moutain Top
Is anyone else crushing on this? Really beautiful stuff that I'm not used to seeing our boys in Blue and Orange perform. And when you compare or contrast Trestman's play design with Ron Turner's or Mike Martz's offense, it's like watching a guy play chess versus a dude playing checkers.
To me, we're finally designing plays on par with the elite teams in the league and last week we were a team that executed it to perfection.
Just for an example, a real simple play during the Atlanta game: the 3rd and goal (9 yards out) where everyone in the stadium was expecting us to pass, the offensive comes to the line, nobody puts there hand on the ground (indicating to the D that a pass play is coming) and the ball is snapped, Kyle Long pulls and trap blocks an LB allowing Slausen to get to the next level, Bennett joins Slausen at the second level and take out a couple/three dudes, and Forte runs in for a TD.
Simple, but really great stuff.
Anybody else want to wax poetic in the afterglow of a great game?
