Add One More To The List

Rich Hofmann's on board the "talent, not coaching" train:

Heading into Giants Stadium ... it would be great if Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg would just give the ball to Brian Westbrook, Kyle Eckel and/or Lorenzo Booker about 20 times in the first half, whether it resulted in a gain of 20 yards or 120 yards.

Just do it, so that people will stop talking about the playcalling and start talking about the players.

That conversation does not let Reid off the hook for this 6-5-1 season, because he picks the players. But it focuses the discussion on what matters (an inadequately equipped roster) and moves it away from this canard about playcalling, which is really a very small percentage of what is going on here.

The Eagles run the ball 25 times a game. The average NFL team runs it 27.4 times a game. That's it. That's the difference between Reid and typical - two play calls a game. People say that if they would just stick with it, they would be better at it - as if they never try. It isn't true.

Emphasis added.
