Staying with your analogy, way too many coaches try to get a little too smart in that situation. It’s the reverse of when they continue to try to hammer the square peg into the round hole.
No kidding. Just stick with brute force until they make you change!
Back in the Sixties, I was never a Packers fan, but I always appreciated that about the Green Bay Packers under Vince Lombardi. They would run the Packer Sweep over and over again until their opponent would throw everything into stopping it, then they would change it up...
They didn’t get cute about it, either.
