SouthernStar Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think that we all agree that this year, the NFC East will be super tough. The division race will be harder (and closer) than it has been in several years. NO TEAM has an absolute, clear-cut, super-dominate advantage over the others. Everybody has a decent shot. Therefore, I think that the "little things" will play a more important role than ever. By this , I mean: (A) Pre-game planning ( Pregame motivation (and halftime "pep" talks) © Adjustments made (during the game) (D) Player's belief in the coaches (and in the system) (E) Strategy (out-guessing the opponent) (disguising your true intentions) (isolating the defenders) (etc) (F) Play-calling (G) Coaching (experience, responsibility, freedom to control your domain, etc) (H) Replacments (if you lose a player, does the team immediately go out "on the market" and replace him with the very best that is still out there?) (I) other stuff (in case I missed something...) To this end, I'm creating a poll. Which oranization do you feel is superior in "the little things"? Take all these factors into consideration AS A WHOLE.... Feel free to discuss the "little things" individually. Discuss which organization has the better head coach, or which has the best strategisers, or which team has the better coaching staff, or play-calling, or whatever. The discussion is wide open. But when you vote, consider all things together as as whole and cast your vote for that organization. *NOTE-- This is a multiple choice poll. You can vote for MORE than one team. This will be a private poll and no one will see how you voted: We've discussed just about everything but this (during this offseason). I think that all 4 organizations have been been together long enough to have made some judgements about them. We have no new head coaches, no new starting QBs, no massive staff turnovers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Good lord. Do you really believe that any Skins fan will vote against Joe Gibbs when it comes to the 'little things'? The man is the master of the halftime adjustment and other 'little things'. Why don't you answer this: which Superbowl-winning team(s) WEREN'T good at the 'little things'? Can you overcome a fragmented locker room? A hated coach? A lack of depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portis&taylor Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think we are the best at the little things cuz we got gibbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicdesi Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 All the coaches in this league are great coaches. I recall reading an article a year or two ago that forsaw the greatness of this division coming back in full because of the great coaches. All the teams are very disciplined, and do the little things great.. Unfortunately for the rest, we have the best talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwpanic Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 choices A-I all fall under the category of coaching. since gibbs is the man, i guess the redskins are the best at the "little things" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weganator Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 We all clearly know who will win... but who should win is what needs to be discussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celder Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Not being a homer, I would say the Eagles from their success over the last couple of years. However I still think the Eagles are the weakest team in the division because they are the least talented and have too many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggio Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yea, its hard to say Gibbs isn't the best at all the little things, but I am being homerish...though, I will say this. Joe Gibbs is the best coach in the history of the NFL at halftime adjustments. Hands down numero uno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I selected "all about the same" since we're talking about two legendary coaches, a coach who took his team to 4 straight NFC championship games (winning one), and one of the most detail-oriented (read: anal) coaches in the league.

pjfootballer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It goes in cycles. Some teams are good at the little things for a while, then they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
