Progress?
Found a QB who can throw the ball, is tough, and has big upside
Found a coach, that the team busts their ass for, right to the end, no matter what the situation
May have ended the revolving door at kick returner
Got rid of some of the "me me attitude" that has held us up, the last number of years
Found our all round CDN kicker, going forward
Plugged the gaping hole at Safety, moving forward
Overall, far better play in secondary
That said, there were (and still are) limitations that pretty well put a ceiling, on how much progress, we were gong to make.
1. Depth - this was not exactly a military secret - if we ran into injuries,things were going to get iffy - we miss Ian Wild, big time and Moore and Anderson were taking up key roles while healthy, and Patty N, was supposed to take on another. The ongoing Watson/Sears thing didn't help. The long snapping is killing us on a weekly basis.
2. OL - we play 3 Yanks on the line, yet are terribly inconsistent, run game is off/on,Willy is taking a serious pounding and January is really slowing down. Single biggest organization fail.... is the inability to find some import guys, among the gazillion in the US, until the Domestic larder is restocked.
3. Under the unexpected - the Special teams - costing us points, field position and momentum, with a myriad of mistakes, on a weekly basis. Either MOS has to take a more direct hand on this, or Tracy needs to depart....
