Quote:I thought that last year's team was worse than this year's team pretty much the whole season. We were so pitiful last year, just downright uncompetitive.

 

Last year MJD broke his foot in Oakland. None of his backups could do what he did. We were suddenly forced to be a pass-first offense when we were not equiupped for that. Sometimes, nobody can be blamed and it just happens. Also, Gene Smith continued to make the same old stupid mistakes, so we still lacked talent at many positions and had too many players on injured reserve. Now we are seeing David Caldwell change that to give the coaches better players to work with. But the coaching staff made a big difference in changing the culture so we can finally get used to winning games.
