That's the innovation I'm referring to & unless I'm mis-reading your post, you just made my point.
I think he's putting them in a position to succeed, I think his preparation and play calling are generally on-point. Fundamentally though I think his scheme is flawed relying too much on individual success. All schemes rely on execution, but as you can tell by the long run Atlanta had, all it takes is 1 CB getting sucked inside to blow up a whole play call. That's not true in every scheme IMO. I guess it's a high risk, high reward scheme.
