Cooley says his favorite philosophy is to put as much on the players as they can handle e.g. Wade Phillips in the playoffs last year. No two looks were the same against the Pats.
We don't do anything well. He says pick something and play it well rather than playing 4 things poorly.

He's got a solid point (he knows a thing or two about football, doesn't he? ^^), we've seen too many hugely blown coverage for it to be 100% on the players.
I'm wondering out loud ("out writing"?): with our level of talent, how likely it is that opp off coord quickly find a way to expose the defense if they only have a few plays in their book?
