Quote:That's what I'm saying. We're not there yet. But were almost here, a few more pieces, then we can literally start making a legitimate push in the playoffs. Remember, these guys are getting noticed as 1st and second year players. I have no doubt that were moving in the right direction. As far as the coaching woes, we also tend to forget this is Gus's first time head coaching and he's growing and learning himself. It just requires patience from THIS regime versus going back the past 7 losing seasons and then being mad at these guys. 

 

No doubt about that. Gus Bradley figured out we need better assistant coaches. Greg Olson has been doing a much better job than Jedd Fisch. So have the other new offensive assistants after their predecessors were fired. But you have to be blind to not notice we actually have more talent on the offensive side of the ball because Dave Caldwell is a million times better than Gene Smith ever was.
