When Marrone took over they immediately lifted the offense at least out of the non functional disaster it had been. In four years only one metric was ranked below one hundred, which was 3rd down conversions in 2009. They kept building and improving, both the players and the staff, and there was steady improvement year after year until it took off in 2012. Some of the data this year shows that Lester may get it. The efficiency numbers are up. The total yardage numbers are down in part because he doesn't run enough plays in an attempt to shorten games. [/QUOTE]
