Something that mentioned a couple of weeks ago is learning to "win".

We have some serious inexperience out there right now. Rookie HC, young DC, Rook QB, and lots of first time starters. They are all learning right now, and honestly, I am really enjoying watching it take place.

I think the players bought into Rivera right off the bat.

As for Cam, I saw a big change in his game starting with Atlanta. Even though he had 3 picks, it was the first game where more often than not, he was hitting his receivers in the numbers. That continued yesterday and culminated in an 8 for 8 performance in the 2nd half. If we see it, you know the players see it magnified times 10.

The running game is starting to click and Chud is much more confident in calling a balanced game now.

So the buy in, I think, went to a new level in the Atlanta game even though it was our worst loss, and stepped up even more yesterday.

The one exception may be special teams. The schemes we have used have been largely ineffective, and the unit lacks confidence. We will have to wait a while to watch them turn the corner.

The Chicago game was the first one where I stopped seeing back foot throws and jumping throws. He finally seemed to be minimizing the "phantom pressure", standing in the pocket and making his throws the right way.

Getting past the mental transition is huge.

Most of the time turning points are usually measured retrospectively as we evaluate at what point things turned around based on different results. So really there isn't much to say until we can look back and decide when things did turn around.

Haved we turned the corner ? I don't know.

Neither do I.

But it makes for an interesting discussion.

      Didn’t watch today but….

      31st rushing D and 8 carries by Rico is coaching.  Rico is easily the best offensive weapon right now and it’s not really close.  *literally everyone knows Dalton is washed, horrible and shouldn’t even be a backup QB.   Drive 1? ZERO carries.  Coaching.  Drive 2 - Rico was playing great.   Did Canales lean into that or go for “balance”? Coaching. Drive 3 - ZERO carries.  Coaching  Drive 4 - 1 carry and opted for Jimmy Horn gadget rush (you can’t stick  with the Horn repetitive gadget runs each week and that’s not a better idea than getting Rico going)  Drive 5 - basically Dalton heavy as the half expired.  I don’t need to watch a game to know it’s coaching.  The gameplan wasn’t about setting Rico up to go off on a trash rush D.  It was bullshit harmony balance of the rush and the pass and making Hubbard feel good.

      In the locker room after the Dallas game, multiple  players said FEED him when Canales mentioned Rico stats. That already made me think even the locker room wouldn't care if Rico got the touches rn. This is on Canales indeed and I agree n the Qb take.  We aren't winning  bc of Bryce  but he has been managing it. Had the Jets had Qb aptitude,  we could've probably  lost that game too. All they would've needed is 14 points. Regardless, we got a team  that's being built up and that position needs an overhaul.

      I think he was trying to mimic the Lions with Montgomery and Gibbs. They are just more of the exception to the rule and Brooks was too much of a gamble to be a Gibbs type player. The Lions also didn’t sign Montgomery and draft Gibbs until their offense was nearly set. It was more of a luxury take the offense to the next level type of deal.
