React to what you know rather than thinking it through.
Pretty sure you knew everything I just stated Fred. Leave it to Beaver I guess.
Personally I have always been wary of anyone trying to do anything at the absolute highest level complaining that it is "too complicated".
Seems to me people are just cheering anything the coaches say. What if Anarumo comes out and runs a straight 4-3 every play with the same coverage scheme every time? You going to be thrilled by his "simplification"? The truth is that NFL football is very complex. A big part of it is mental. Defenses have to be able to disguise coverages and changes things up. If the players can't learn this stuff then we need to get smarter players instead of dumber schemes.
In college and high school the top players can get by with just reacting and using their superior physical skills, but that won't cut it in the NFL.
