Remember when we weren't interested in Greg Roman?

Roman's response is essentially that it's nothing new, pointing out that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed used to do that all the time. "Part of the chess match" he calls it. He also added that empty stadiums make it easier to hear the calls.

Regardless of who you put it on, it sounds like quarterback and OC aren't on the same page.

If I recall, Luke was notorious for knowing what was coming...film study

This is reminiscent of what the Broncos were saying about us after SB50. They were borderline shocked and fighting back straight up laughter about how we changed up literally nothing. We didn't do a single thing we hadn't already shown on film throughout the playoffs. Not so much as a wrinkle added.

This is why old school coaches will get out coached in today's NFL. This is why Rivera was outcoached many times. The great innovators and adapters like Andy Reid keep will be one step ahead of the opponent. Hope Joe Brady can adapt as time moves forward.

I think Ron’s approach was “you can know what we’re running but try to stop us.” For a while during the ‘15 season it was working so he didn’t care to change. When it wasn’t working, he chalked it up to execution. In hindsight, I think a little less ego would’ve won the super bowl.

Yup take a super athletic QB and make teams figure out how to stop him. The only problem with that is teams figure out how to stop you and now your done.

Good players make it easier to notice crappy coaching. This guy sounds Shula-esk. He acknowledges the issue and makes a lame excuse instead of attacking back. It's literally called Offense, maybe go on the offensive instead of allowing the D to dictate everything?

ron literally stopped shula, in the middle of a suberbowl practice, from installing new plays out of the different formations we ran that year. he stopped him.   that's how stupid ron is

Oof. Did that actually happen? I mean, I wouldn't be shocked, but that is truly painful. Those are the exact types of tweaks you make leading up to the SB. You're not trying to reinvent the wheel over a two week period, but you have to tweak some stuff and add some wrinkles or you're going to be way too predictable.

To be fair though no one but Atlanta has stopped us and the Broncos needed not only two great rush ends but some serious help from the refs. They basically took Cams head off that game. If all were fair and just I really think we would have rolled that team like everyone else. After the league figured out it was ok to target Cams head that was the end to our run. Not saying Shula was a great OC but more that once you allow a QB to get hit like that and on the other side of the ball you're calling head taps that's a huge advantage.

Not sure if it happened exactly in that manner, but yes there was a story that Rivera said in a practice setting that there was no real need to change much of anything because what they were doing was working.
