One of the criticisms with Nagy’s play-calling last season centered around whether or not he was forcing his players to adapt to his scheme rather than adapt his scheme to his players. It was something that Nagy was quite open about when talking to the media. When asked if he would be open to changing his scheme to better fit his players, Nagy said it was “absolutely” something he would do.

After two years of watching his players in this offense, Nagy has a better understanding of his players do well and where they struggled. Nagy acknowledged that “it’s not fair to force them into something that I do.” So this offseason will be about adapting his offense to fit these players particular strengths and weaknesses and giving everyone a chance to succeed.
