He gets his guys prepared and motivated to play. Pete Carrol is one of the best motivators in the business. And has had some of the best teams lately. Zimmer will motivate the shit out of guys. San Fran fell off a cliff when they lost their motivator coach.Does Bellicheck get them motivated, or is it the Bradys, McGinnests, Vrabels, Harrisons, and Bruschis? He hasn't been a good HC when he didn't have those guys around.
Grown men not motivated will get the hell beat out of the by grown men who are properly motivated.
These guys have millions of dollars in their bank accounts. Without proper coaching and motivation you have the 90s Bengals. (Cough.. Paul Alexander was there cough..)
Don't forget, San Fran fell off a cliff before that coach left. They hit the ground when half of their starters retired or moved on.

There's a reason why BJGE had 0 fumbles in 536 touches for the Patriots and 5 fumbles in 524 touches for the Bengals.
They know their coach has no problem punishing/benching them instead of just giving some frowny face claps when they F up. That attitude trickles down through the organization.
In the last 10 years, Paul Alexander's OL by YPC ranking...
16th or Higher: 1
Lower than 16th: 9
20th or Lower: 7
30th or Lower: 2
The guy's OL has been above average 1 time in the last 10 years at YPC, and been in the three worst in the league 2 times. That guy would NEVER retain his job with the Patriots. Can you imagine if that was a QB Coach for someone and his QB's ratings were below average for 9 of the last 10 years?
(PS: This situation smells an awful lot like when PA decided Nate Livings should be the starter over Evan Mathis, most fans called PA an idtiot. Then Evan Mathis left and became a Pro Bowl, All-Pro, Super Bowl Champion, while Livings was awful and sucked his way right out of the league 2 years later. Hope I am wrong.)

The release time also has to do with the West Coast (sidebar-can we come up with a catchy name for where this offense really originated? Maybe the Ohio River Offense?) Offensive scheme. It has a LOT to do with pass protection, or lack thereof.Scrambles only become a run play after the QB crosses the LOS. Release the ball and it's still a pass.
