On a dark, quiet plane seven years ago, then- coach Tony Sparano requested that his quarterbacks coach, David Lee, take the seat next to him on the long flight from Arizona to Miami. Something needed to change, and this was the time to do it.The had sinking to 0-2 after to start the 2008 season. The offense stunk, but the defense was even worse. Arizona receivers and had combined for 12 catches, 293 yards and three touchdowns.So Sparano was willing to do whatever it took to shift the momentum. The following Erik Karlsson Kids Jersey week, in of the last decade, he deployed a crazy strategy: Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams introduced the NFL to the Wildcat offense.Miami beat the , 38-13, on the way to capturing an AFC East title and completing what was then the best turnaround in NFL history, finishing 11-5 one year after a 1-15 disaster.The moral of this story has nothing to do with the current state of the AFC East. After all, the are way better this year, and the were without for almost all of the 2008 season because of a torn ACL. Plus, the are off to a hot 2-0 start.The moral of the story, rather, applies to every team in the NFL -- including today's -- suddenly wondering how and why its 2015 prospects look so dire so soon. And that moral is this: It's not too late to change.There's a thin line between conviction and stubbornne s, and the latter has ended the careers of many smart head coaches. So while teams like the 1- Joel Ward Women Jersey 1 , 0-2 and 0-2 -- teams that have disappointed fan bases expecting so much more -- don't nece sarily need to Tim Heed Kids Jersey try something like the Wildcat, they shouldn't be afraid of making some major tweaks before pa sing the point of no return.So how exactly does that happen?It happens through communication. Sparano, for instance, went to Lee, who had run a version of the Wildcat offense as a coach in Arkansas. He went to Brown to see if he felt comfortable with the system. He confided in those he hired.Coaches like Miami's Joe Philbin should certainly do the same -- and they shouldn't stop with their staffs. that suggested went into freelance mode in (the report prompted from Philbin) raised an important question about how much power one player can hold. The signed Suh to a because he has proven to be a force capable of playing against any offensive scheme. While that doesn't mean Suh should be calling the shots on defense, it most certainly means the ' coaches should be digging deep into his experienced mind about how they can get the most from him.As much credit as the get for being creative with the Wildcat in 2008, it's important to note they also did something else that season: They put Joey Porter in a position to dominate on defense. In the first two weeks that season, Porter had just one sack and eight tackles. By the season's end? He put together his best season as a pro, notching 17.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.That Joel Ward Jersey season would mark both the beginning of Sparano's career with the -- and the pinnacle. And Sparano accomplished what he did because he was willing to go against the original script, even if it meant abandoning some of his original thoughts.That's not the same as abandoning core beliefs. It isn't the same as flip-flopping. Nor is it the same as throwing something against the wall to see if it sticks. Instead, it is opening up to new po sibilities to avoid Tim Heed Jersey old results.In many instances, it would seem ridiculous that Philbin could take a le son from the coach he replaced in South Florida. But this might be the one occasion when it makes great sense. It isn't time to bench players or fire coaches.Rather, it's time to do the opposite: It is time to embolden them instead.Follow Jeff Darlington on Twitter .
