Its the most complex system in football...
In the sense that the receivers have secondary routes based off what they see after the snap...
Look at the spurs system and its similar in terms of how its ran...you actually get alot of freedom, but of course belicheck condenses it for certain players or backups..
Its all about detail..
Which is why beli would take an L on athleticism if the receiver had the iq to master the system...
Moss has one of the greatest football iq's ever...so it was an easy transition..ocho cinco didnt and thats why he struggled..

Another thing they do so well is they game plan each week according to their opponent. Meaning they dont take their strengths or coaches usual game plan and apply it every damn week. They actually game plan around their opponent. They also adjust their game plan when it doesnt work in game.

Surprisingly, most coaches dont do that. Most coaches utilize their own strengths and use it every week.

People keep saying you could plug any qb into that system and they would put up numbers

What exactly is the system? If it's so successful why don't other teams just copy it?

I don't know all that much about the x's and O's about football so someone school me

The Patriots O is based on the Erhardt-Perkins O.

The backbone of the Erhardt-Perkins system is that plays — pass plays in particular — are not organized by a route tree or by calling a single receiver’s route, but by what coaches refer to as “concepts.” Each play has a name, and that name conjures up an image for both the quarterback and the other players on offense. And, most importantly, the concept can be called from almost any formation or set. Who does what changes, but the theory and tactics driving the play do not.

Read this. It is a pretty good overview. Of all 3 O's (West Coast, Coryell and Erhardt-Perkins)

Speak My Language

Also the closes you will get to learning how the Pats prepare during the week is this article from Greg Bedard. Who was able to get in with Texans last year for a week to watch them game plan a team. Bill O'Brian being from the Pats, their is lots of carry over.

Following the blueprint in New England—where O'Brien and Godsey worked under Bill Belichick—Houston has developed what's called a “game-plan offense,” meaning that it varies based on the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent

“The key is to make all these concepts, whether they are run or pass, look similar to other plays,”

The main things that stand out about the Patriots offense:

They use a huge variety of formations and package plays. The no-huddle tempo, the formation fukkery, and the flexible play-calling renders defensive keys useless.

They run a lot of option routes where the WR can read the coverage and make a variety of breaks based on what the defense gives them. The level of chemistry and timing between QB and receiver on option routes is pretty unique to the Pats, and probably Brady's greatest strength as a QB. It's the reason that relatively un-gifted players like Julian Edelman can average 10 catches a game.

The system works but the real reason they're so consistently good is preparation. I despise the Patriots, but fact is :beli: and his staff are just on another level when it comes to gameplanning.
