There's that as well. They need to back defenses off by consistently passing the ball and taking advantage of single coverage, a defense will only stick with a losing strategy for so long, if they start getting lit up by the passing game, they'll pull someone out of the box and put them into coverage which would then make the offense overall more explosive as the defense is caught between defending against the run and the pass and either being more vulnerable to passes downfield or getting busted up with a powerful running game.
Don't get me wrong none of us on here more about football and x's and o's than Roman but I just don't get why he can't figure that out. I mean coaches in general some times it's so easy for a casual fan to see it but coaches can't. Is it stubbornness and thinking if I call it the players have to execute it? You hear the players all the time say we just have to execute better like they are brainwashed into thinking a play call is never the problem. Sure some times it's execution and sure many plays against certain looks/defenses are designed for a big play/td but some plays called just won't work against some looks/defenses no matter how well executed. You will hear the coaches say it too we didn't put our players in a position to succeed well it's like learn from it. But back to the stubbornness I think it was similar with the way Singletary coached and how he expected everyone to get better instead of upgrading players. Guys like Snyder and espeically Rachal were horrible and instead of thinking let's upgrade them it's like let's coach them up they will get better but in reality some players only have so much talent and no matter how much you coach them up will still not be very good. Same with how he said we just have to execute better. You're running right up the middle every play against 10 man fronts and you expect the play to succeed and we just have to execute better. Oh so if we execute we get 2 yards instead of 0 or 1. I'm rambling here but bottom like seems like stubbornness some times and coaches just outsmart themselves.

Hahaha yeah. I really don't mind what Vernon's preferences are either. I've only heard dandy used as a way to say something or someone was excellent. But I knew of the other meaning and I thought it was funny that out of all the word's Ditka could have used to describe VD, he said Dandy LOL.

Hmmm...he might be.
Dandy - a man unduly devoted to style, neatness, and fashion in dress and appearance.
That is true about VD lol. He's really into fashion and art. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I can see how an old school tough guy like Ditka might find that to be a bit
LOL at the smiley. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if VD was gay with how artistic he is and the way he has been talking. Hopefully nobody takes offense to that not all guys who are artistic or whatever are gay and really I don't care if VD is gay or not as long as he keeps playing well on the field. I will say dandy probably used a lot more back in Ditka's days and meant gem/in this case a great player. It's not really used much in today's language. I dont know I have heard it used as fine and dandy meaning everything is good.... he's a dandy could mean he's gem/good player. what a dandy.. probably means the definition you gave

where was he after the seattle game? A class act would show equal respect after a tough loss, not run off the field like a little hoe.

anyone see Ditka on the espn pregame showing talking about Vernon davis--he was complimentary saying he was the niners best player in his view then he called Vernon a dandy, placing emphasis on the word dandy...was Ditka trying to imply something
