They brought out some of the more creative red zone stuff that they haven't used much of this year. And started using a lot more of the jet-sweep actions that they had been extremely successful with in 2018 and had largely shelved for most of this season.
But something tells me that Andy isn't sitting at home right now thinking "well shit - after 20 years of being the most innovative offensive mind in football, I'm
finally plum out of ideas..."
And it won't be reinventing the wheel, but it'll be a wrinkle off some of those short yardage concepts they showed this week and last. The trick isn't that Andy couldn't show anything to get here - it's that by not showing it during the regular season, he hasn't shown his
counter.
Congrats - you may figure out how to deal with what Reid did to the Texans inside the 10. But because he hadn't been doing that yet this year, you DON'T know how he's going to respond to your counter-punch. That's been the key benefit to holding this stuff back. Andy is ALWAYS setting up the next move and by not having to play his hand for most of the regular season, you don't know what card he has up his sleeve yet.
Andy's gonna be fine...
