If you think this, you are either naive for attempting to understand him on the face value of his words, or you are out of touch with football.
First of all, Bronco didn't invent this line. You will hear the same from countless successful coaches at every level.
Second, the coaches game plan. They analyze film to find weaknesses. They alter routes each week to attack those weaknesses. They call various stunts to capitalize on other weaknesses.
When the coaches say, "We aren't worried about what the other team is going to try to do," this reflects the offensive nature of the coaching staff. For instance, Coach Hill plays offense on defense. On each play called, he is trying to direct the play to funnel to a certain place on the field. Yes, he tries to divine what the offense is going to do, but he hopes this so that he calls the right play to get the ball to the right spot.
Anyway, the point is: The coaches game plan. so let's drop that from our vocabulary of attacks. Rather, it's best to say that the coaches don't game plan thoroughly (not enough time in the film room, playbook too small), or keenly. Perhaps they are not good game planners. That's all legitimate, and at this point, a little obvious.
