[QUOTE="BZuppke, post: 1173695, member: 12358"] Yes, larger issues. Where do you start? 3rd or 4th and short and running Chase Crouch on the same play everyone has seen 20 times? Trying to run up the middle when you have absolutely no ability to do so on short yardage into the teeth of the D and getting stuffed? Throwing the same out patterns many times out of bounds? Running the same play 2 or 3 times in a row to make sure the defense knows exactly how to stuff you? Or perhaps trying to run out the clock before the half and actually giving the ball back to the opponent to tack on another score and increase their lead? I have some issues with Mackovic, but if you witnessed his play calling you'd realize what a clever in-game coach can be. As Dick Vermeil said of him on one broadcast, and Vermeil was a pretty knowledgeable coach: "He runs when you think he'll pass, and passes when you're thinking run". Has Cubit ever impressed you in this way? [/QUOTE]
