How does a play work if you don't execute it?
I kinda see what you're saying, but doesn't every play ultimately come down to it being executed properly to be successful? What's the use of a great call if the QB throws an incompletion or fumbles the snap? Or what if there's a false start that pushes the team in to 3rd and long and they have to go with another play?
When Lombardi coached the Packers they had a very limited playbook, but the plays they ran they ran to perfection. Gibbs takes a page out of Lombardi in that sense. Gibbs' playbook isn't overly complicated, but it depends on execution. So often back in the 80's you'd hear people say they knew exactly what the Redskins were running, but they just couldn't stop it.
