I'm going to do it as of THIS POINT 2 years ago, which means Mike Mitchell, Dominique Hixon, Chase Blackburn, Ted Ginn, Melvin White, Star Lotulelei, Kawaan Short, A.J. Klein, etc. are not included.
1. Much Better on Defense Now. Slightly better on Offense then (mainly due to experience)
2. Yes. 2013 Ron Rivera learns to take "calculated gambles." 2014 Ron Rivera learns to trust GettleGod's pickups. Shula is still incompetent.
3. I feel much better about our future now than I did at this point in 2013.
But I am a half glass full kinda guy.
