Doug Pederson on coaching conservatively

[Mr. Scot]

Quote

“Playing quarterback, watching a lot of teams, a lot of football,” he said. “You learn if you play passive, if you play conservative, if you call plays conservatively, you are going to be 8-8, 9-7 every year. Every year.

The eagles everything the Panthers are not. Aggressive and active in free agency. Hopefully we don't get an owner in here with the same philosophy as our last idiot owner and he kicks marty and Ron to the curb.

I was a fan of that guy when played them earlier this year, they scored a TD and we had a personal foul, the ref's assumed they would take the yardage on the kickoff and he was like hell naw, we are going for 2 from the 1 yard line.

Pederson seems to intimately understand the concept that scoring wins.

Also from that article, quoting offensive coordinator Frank Reich...

“He’s got a big set of stones"

[Johnny Rockets]

He is definitely unorthodox . Every game, all year he did it without hesitation. He had a lucky horseshoe in his pocket that is for sure. There is something to be said about having 100% confidence in your players though. Didn't matter if they lost Sproles, Jason Peters, Wentz, etc for the year.......he coached the same way with the foot on the gas all year.

Counter point:  what happens when your guys don't make those plays?

It's about a lot more than the play call, but the team mindset.  In 2015, the Panthers were a radically different team.  They had a different mindset, and they were the best offense in the NFL that season with the MVP QB with MIKE F'ING SHULA.

Some of it comes from the top, some from the players.  If the Eagles had lost the game, what would be the mindset on the huddle?  A lot of this feels like some major knee jerk reactions.

I think we can all agree that we need to make plays and play to win.  Until we don't, and we should have just kicked that FG and played defense... =P

[Mr. Scot]

Being aggressive is a double-edged sword. It can definitely blow up in your face. Of course, so can playing conservatively. We've seen that a lot here.

The question becomes whether you'd rather risk losing by going big or play it safe.

There are sins of omission and sins of commission.

At least, as far as I'm concerned from a football standpoint, sins of commission are more easily forgivable because at least you gave it a damn try instead of sitting back in fear that you'll make a mistake and cede all momentum to the opponent.

You can be aggressive when you trust your personnel and scheme....IMO Ron trusts neither.

That might change with Norv in charge of the offense.

Makes for an interesting question though. If he didn't really have that kind of faith in Shula, why did he stick with him for so long?

You'd have to be a real coward to be so afraid of change that you'd choose to stick with somebody you don't think is very good.
