    Quote from Salguero's article:

    "But while the offense hasn’t changed, the players have. And that’s key.

    “The terminolgy’s the same. Some of the plays are the same,” Gailey said. “But I think it changed from Buffalo to New York because of the personnel we had. And it’s going to make another change because of the personnel we have here.

    “If you ask Fitz is the terminology the same, he’d say yes. Are the thoughts, some of thought processes the same? Yes. But we will be adjusting and adapting to some of the personnel we have. So it may not look the same to John Q. Public. “

    Gailey wants to adapt his coaching to his players and his offense to their talents. But the basic philosophy of what he wants to accomplish hasn’t changed since his days as the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator in the 1990s.

    “There’s two things: One thing, we try to stay balanced. I want us to be a balanced offense. I want us to be able to run the football and throw the football effectively. That’s the way I see offensive football,” Gailey said.

    “And then the next thing is you adapt to the players you have. You have to adjust your schemes and see who you have and that sometimes is even on a week-by-week basis.”

    About all that adapting ... it’s real.

    Offensive line coach Steve Marshall said Saturday the blocking scheme “will be multiple,” meaning it won’t just be zone blocking or man-blocking. And Gailey wants to let his receivers improvise as they run their routes.

    “You take an artist that knows how to get open, that knows what he’s doing versus a defender, and you try to fit him into a box, that’s where you make the guy less of a player than he really is,” Gailey said.

    “I want guys to be able to go out and be creative. I tell them you got to be where you’re supposed to be when you’re supposed to be there. But how you get there? That’s up to you. We give them the freedom to go get open, and we think we have talented enough quarterbacks to get them the football.”"
