You can call plays directly from a Bill Walsh playbook but it's not going to matter if the players don't go out and do their jobs.

Amen to that... That isn't Jerry Rice and John Taylor out there at WR. That isn't Dwight Clark at TE. That isn't an OL made up of 5 competent NFL players. And that is not Joe Montana/Steve Young under center. As Gruden and Jaws kept pointing out last night, it's the execution - - stupid.
