What it all boils down to

[4thngoal]

Other teams can blitz us and succeed but we can't blitz anyone because we might get burned.
Other teams can make us pay and make it hard on us, but we can't do that to them.
Other teams can exploit us if we don't operate at nearly perfect, but we fail to do the same.
There are flashes, but the failures are far more than the flashes and it shows in the w/l column.

Other teams can stop us on third or fourth down and short but we can't stop them on the same. Just adding to the fun here.

 

[Caddy]

Other teams actually have a coaching staff that game plans and makes adjustments, and we don't.
Other teams actually hire a proven offensive coordinator, and we don't.
Other teams have coaches that aren't stuck in 1970, we don't.

 

[AIRHAWK]

Other teams understand when it is 3rd and 8 that a 4 yard pass play doesn't get a 1st down.
Other teams understand a sweep to the short side of the field doesn't generally gain positive yards
Other teams understand the you are allowed to use ALL your allotted timeouts

Kirk's coaching effect is -4.

i am going to jump in and say that over the years the hawks D has been very stout in short yardage runs. That being said one has to wonder how exactly jNW is the only team to pin our Dee Ends into the line where they could not move.

How did they do that?
