Outstanding work Matthew. This is the type of true journalism that separates the good beat writers like yourself from the national media. Or even worse; the tv personalities that just spew out stats or talk loud so it sounds like they know what they are talking about. I constantly tell my friends; if want to know what is really going on with a team read the beat writers material. Thank you
So great. I wonder, is it possible to have this style on offense as well? Or are the roles too defined and segmented for it to work this way? I feel like KOC has a similar strategic mind.
Maybe that is why Allen and Hargrave did not live up to their contracts (they were not horrible, just not worth big money contracts) is they were used to beating their guy and that was that. Clearly BFlo uses his DTs in a way that considers the whole more than 1 player.
Great piece, Matt. Feels like Flo is very good at spotting players with high football IQ, even though that’s probably hard to measure. Like, when he first came in and instantly knew Metellus could play a hybrid role despite Josh having little NFL defensive tape. I often wonder about some of these guys’ academic records, too. Like, I imagine they were strong students, in general.
