i kind of wonder if the leashes are too tight on players. it's almost as if they are tethered and bound to a system and they can't play loose and relaxed. they might be thinking too much about the "system" and it slows them down just a bit much and makes their thinking just a bit slower because nothing feels natural and the flow is not there.
maybe tmac is out thinking himself... it tends to happen when you have less and less success as a team... as a coach you tend to want to control too much and that could actually make things worse. the talent here is questionable, no doubt, but is it really as bad as we are seeing or are they just playing too tight and bound to a system?
seems like other teams play with much more flow and natural improvisation with a basic system. maybe our system is too complex and takes too much natural instincts out of these guys?
