Read This, Be Smarter: High Schools and Colleges Smarter than NFL

Love the line about how its hard to get in the NFL, but hard to get bounced out for coaches and GMs.

This is the second part of a three part series, at least part 1 is also online.

There was a short version blurb here, but somehow I ended up in Pittsburgh with Tony Dungy and Bill Walsh. Just go read the article. Pay attention to how the changes included offenses learning how to burn man coverage and realize that hurt Capers and is just currently coming to M3's offense.

Also speaks to the battle of personnel (is the Packers defense any better this year without Alexander being a virtual shadow) versus scheme and how the Packers of the last decade have been very personnel driven in success.

Nice find. Pettine might not be using the match coverage described in the article, but he at least uses the concept of having a single look leading to different coverages and pressures. The offensive problems for the Packers are much more problematic.
