It was a small sample size of less than 10 touches I think, but the last couple of games last year Tank looked to be running with purpose as well.  More so than he had earlier in the year at least and I remarked as much about it then.  It's amazing what can happen if we just give a rookie some time to develop and gain experience before jumping to conclusions about the trajectory of their career.

This all goes back to constructive reps and the on-boarding process.  Baalkie complained about it and Doug agreed with him. When Baalkie got his job it took almost 2 years to rebuild the scouting teams. Until then we were stuck with entitled, embedded under-performers. Doug set to work this off-season fixing the on-boarding process. Look, Doug had his hands full when he first arrived, it is understandable this was the off-season he got to it.
