We now have a coach that learns from his mistakes. Where before we had one that repeated them over and over again.
I am so glad that we have gotten rid of the stench of Frank Reich that it makes me giddy.
Examples, Deion Jackson rushes for 14 yards on 13 carries and loses 2 fumbles. He's demoted 1 week and cut the next. Darrell Baker stinks it up for 2 straight games and Brents is the starter.
How long did Reich ride the train wreck of Matt Prior at both LT and RG before Jeff Saturday had to come in and say this ain't working?
The players see it when guys aren't doing their jobs and coaches let it slide and it affects the whole team negatively.

I watched a lot of their game last Monday. Different names, same game. I sort of laughed to myself when mid 1st half they called a TO. Young came to the sideline stood with Reich and Reich legitimately kept his head down in that damn sheet- the entire TO. Never once raised his head and looked at his rookie QB. The plays and the lack of execution, in particular the holding of the ball (the route trees must just be insanely complicated), looked identical. He has lost himself in the belief that his X's & O's are how you win, it's not, it's just not. It starts with the talent always, always with the talent, and that talent has to be used in ways that leverage their talents.
It is refreshing to see guys that just aren't talented enough to be on your roster, not just not starting, not even on your roster.
