Its sickening how ridiculously conservative he is.
but he did get aggressive in that game that didn't matter last year to close the season vs Washington with the unexpected onside kick, way to go out on a limb there chief.
I would think it drives the wildcatter part of jerri nuts
I'm not sure he is truly conservative.
I think he doesn't know that he doesn't know.
In his mind I'm sure he thinks he is modeling the Brady/Moss offense (because Belichick referred to passing deep on short yardage downs as "aggressive" and almost like clockwork Jason goes 5 wide right after a run of 7 or more yards or when he should be running out the clock), and I think that he refers to his system like its a complete playbook when it's just a bunch of conditions which lead to or gauge the distance of vertical pass patterns. His personnel choices for those coached by Norv or those with high character and great college stats but rather vanilla or feeble NFL level skills still suggests that he has no clue.
The biggest indicator of his immaturity and ignorance is still the game management: he really has not improved. How important is game management? How important is it to desperately manage a series, a score, a quarter, a half and a game to a victory? How important is it that your players repeat your mantras week after week after you have abandoned the ship in the storm when you are supposed to be steering them clear of the storm?
This is not an intentionally conservative coach. This is an idiot. From the Greek root for "one who cannot see beyond himself".
How is an idiot supposed to see many, when his vision is only himself?
