Re: Receivers
New England's spreading the ball around to many receivers has more to do with Tom Brady's great ability to read defenses than their offensive system. Brady reads the defense and throws to the open man. Another great QB (Joe Montana) did the same thing. New England is not the only team to run the Parcells/Bellicheck system, it is basically a multi-formation system derived from the west coast system/pro system. All teams steal or borrow from each other. Remember in the early 80's all teams started running the counter-trey after we debuted it with great success. Once a team invents a new play the very next week most teams are trying it.
In regards to the Redskins in max protection, it was not all the time. They changed it up some depending on the situation. I think Gibbs will be mixing up even more this year. I think the max-protection was more out need than desire, our QB's were killed the years befroe Gibbs arrived.
