My point is simply that, based on my own observations of Turner's Skins' teams, his teams lacked the discipline to do the little things right consistently.

He has great schemes and can generally run up a score. Consistently, on Norv coached teams, the inmates were running the prison. Jerry Rice's comment is similar to a comment made by either Wilbon or Kornheiser during Turner's tenure with the Skins that the locker room seemed like club med. When that happens, even if they have heightened attention during the playoffs, they simply will make costly errors at crucial times. Teams have to practice focus and concentration. At the highest level, these are not skills that can be simply put in effect for a game or two and they are the skills that separate really good teams.

In an otherwise evenly matched game talent-wise, which team do you think is more likely to make a silly mistake at the wrong time? A Norv Turner coached team or a team coached by Bellicheck or Dungy?
