Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3390005, member: 1414"] Zampese is affiliated with Don Coyell not Erhardt-Perkins. Much more wide open passing attack. I'm not sure the overall system needs to change. I don't believe it is inherently complicated or was with the Giants or Steelers. I think the wrinkles are 100% Tom Brady based. The defensive reads and adjustments being aligned with how Brady sees the field. You have to move on from that and allow more creativity and playmaking. When Brady first became the QB, the Pats ran something much closer to a West Coast offense. Even since then, the traditional Erhardt-Perkins approach is run first with very few throws to RBs. Yet the Patriots are very much heavy on throwing to the backs. So I don't think they really run the Erhardt system at this time, even if they use that nomenclature. Maybe they will get back to it. And yes, I think he'd take Tua if he falls that far. I am convinced he wants mobility at QB. [/QUOTE]
