Will Fleck learn from watching Cignetti's aggressive play calls and creativity?


I needed a good laugh today. Those two are polar opposites personality and program wise and all these posts pretending otherwise are hilarious.

They're absolutely not. You just take a shot at PJ whenever you can.

When you read about how Cignetti runs his culture, attention to detail, his recruiting, etc it's all very similar to what people say about how PJ runs his program.
 

The QB draw was a gutsy play call, and if Miami doesn't miss multiple tackles there may be a very different take on that decision today.
There was only one guy who had a shot at him before the first down marker and he didn’t really miss a tackle, he was coming from too far, and even diving could only his get his hands out to him so I wouldn’t say that’s a missed tackle. (I’m not including the guy who was fully engaged by a blocker so he didn’t have much of a chance either). He got the first down before he got to those other guys he bounced and spun out of.
 


Darrell Royal when asked about tips on running the wishbone replied "You don't want my offense, you want my fullback."

Cignetti did a good job of getting the most out of the players he was able to get. Fleck might be doing the same.

Saw a stat that their last fumble lost was in week 1. So they went 15 straight without one. He gets the most out of his players and they don't make a lot of mistakes. Very sound.

Indiana got the look they wanted and the play worked, my point was simply that had a Miami player made the stop the opinion of that play call would have changed drastically.
 

They may not be NFL talent when all is said and done, but there is something to be said for having a ton of 4th and 5th year seniors who all know their roles and play within those roles.
I think that’s the true thing that Cignetti is great at, or at least did a great job at the last two years. He did a masterful job of finding players he could implement within his system.

I watched Miracle again a few nights ago and couldn’t help draw comparisons between Indiana and Herbie taking the players that would make his system go rather than just grabbing the most talented players.
