Part of me also knows that the one certainty in the NFL is that you're going to get fired.

It's not even that you're going to get fired.

It's that you're going to hit a rut at some point.

There is going to be a downturn, even for the great coaches.

And so this is one of those things where I think that, not necessarily that pride comes before the fall, but there's some downside to doing this.

At the same time,

When I was watching it happen this week and seeing kind of the consternation from some people about him approaching it this way, the Bears beat the Packers twice in nine years.

They beat the Packers twice in a month under Ben Johnson.

Maybe we should try it this way for a little bit and just see how it goes.

I think that Sean has been the best offensive football coach in the league for the past eight years since he took the job.

And Kyle Shanahan has his case to be made there as well.

I think they're probably one too.

But when you watch what the Rams offense is, I just think that it's so well constructed and so well put together.

All of the different pieces fit together exactly the way that you want them to.

And this has always been the core principles of who they've been offensively.

The window dressing on it just kind of changes from season to season based on who they are and who their players are.

But everything that looks the same, everything that is the same looks a little bit different.

and everything that's a little bit different looks the same.

You'll see them run the exact same play design out of the same personnel grouping, with the same pre-snap motion, with the same run action, and it'll distribute in four to five different ways.

And we've gotten back to a place this year where they are a heavy under-center play-action team.
