Episode notes
Players, Not Coaches, Fueled Explosives
- Many of the explosive plays were created by Hurts' in-play adjustments rather than schematic brilliance.
- That raises questions about how much credit to give the coaching staff for offensive success.
Attack Before Halftime
- Avoid conservative, clock-killing decisions late in halves when a quarterback is hot.
- On third-and-long near halftime, attempt to convert rather than simply letting the clock run out.
Trust Hurts On Third Down
- Do not run predictable plays on third-and-manageable distances when your quarterback is playing at an elite level.
- Trust Hurts to convert third downs rather than deferring to a fourth-and-short setup.
