That's not what I asked you.  Have you seen their playbook?  I have and it's like a damn novel.

No the point is people aren't blaming Vick because of the line play and that he deserves a second chance because of the line play, which he does not...But again Brady/Manning would make adjustments and D's would play them different than they play Vick, that's just a simple fact...The reason the Saints kept getting to Vick was because they were sending more people than the line could block knowing the pressure would cause him to screw up, which he did.

strawman... show me where that's stated in this thread.

Well the Eagles have one of if not the most difficult playbooks.

Terilyns, I might agree with you on the complexity of the playbook, but do you think for a minute they need to memorize the whole thing for every week? No. The coaches create a gameplan that has 50 or so plays they need to know for the week. Then they practice these plays all week, basically helping them memorize them and focus on the keys for execution of the plays. So, really does it matter the size of the playbook in the end? It's no excuse.
