I will say this, we are rebuilding, we had pieces behind the scenes that had not been shown, we got rid of two coaches that were handicapping us on offense, still not sure why Richard was let go other then he may have been too close to the players that had issues or possibly this is his chance to stand on his own and show what he can do. He is doing well in Dallas.
We brought in two guys that were vital to the offensive turn around, a great technique and scheme coach in Solari and a OC that knew how the run game works and has a good passing game to take advantage of teams scheming to stop the run.
Had a few key F.A. signings in Fluker and Mingo, Calitro, TE Dickson as well as the late signing of Kendricks and which I think will pay dividends down the stretch.
A undervalued draft initially has paid dividends, Penny is showing he can play, Flowers is stepping up big as a starter from a position switch, Green has shown promise and contributed, Dissley showed up big till he was hurt and we all hope he can bring it back, Griffen has seen spot duty but he has contributed a lot of special teams and should get better as he adjusts to the pro game, and then there is this damn Punter in Dickson that we traded up for, has he made a impact or what. Jones before he was hurt was making a impact as a back up at Tackle and Martin has shown flashes and will only get better. McGough is a P.S. stash and should be interesting to see what his ceiling is, I liked what I saw in a short display.
This year was a find our place again and we did it quickly, I know I had low expectations but was hoping to see things come together and improve from week to week, It happened very fast once Pete after game two said he was stepping away from the heavy hand involvement with the offense.
