I hope Kyle has figured out how his offense was literally shut down for a quarter and a half by the Patriots. Although, Kyle is very tactical, his offense hasn't exactly been magical before last season. I've always been skeptical about offenses that heavily rely upon playaction (Kyle's and other very old school offenses) as opposed to those that rely heavily upon matchups (Walsh and Belacheat). Coaches who know how to set up and expose matchups are the ones whose offenses can excel in any game. Coaches who heavily rely on deception and PA eventually get figured out and the opponent stops getting fooled, which was what happened in the Super Bowl.
How about you give credit to NE? they gave up 15.6 pts per game last yr (#1 in the league). IF you told me you got 28 pts on NE, I'd say that's a good thing
That ATL D gave up 570 yards that game lol. Injuries, penalties, and turnovers killed that offense IMHO.
I mean as far as "magical" when he was the OC in Houston (2008-2009) 3rd overall offense and 4th overall offense. He improved a s**tty DC offense from 22nd to 18th in 2010 then16th in 2011...by 2012 they were the 5th overall offense.....they remanded top 10 in 2013 (9th overall) despite all the messes going on in DC as well.
Dude is on point as far as a OC goes. He's got more than play-action going on LOL.
