Nobody, and I mean nobody, game-plans better than Belichick.
You take the Super Bowl. How many people noticed the Patriots completely changed their base defense for this game? The fact seemed to elude the Fox TV announcers. Yet there they were in a 2-5-4 alignment the likes of which I have never seen before, from them or anybody else.
They had two down linemen bracketed by two OLBs, with three LBs behind them and four DBs in back. Right from the start, first play on. It was brilliant, and the Eagles never did figure it out, really. They certainly didn't run on it at all, which you'd think would be a potential weakness of such an alignment.
Yeah, he's good with personnel, drafting and so on. But game-planning, nobody does it better.
