Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 514837, member: 837"] I could see all that being true and I certainly acknowledge the personnel upgrades. But I think there was also a very significant shift in the way of thinking about offense. It seems to me like the focus went from "don't make any mistakes and try to run 9,000 formations with a bunch of really, really low-risk plays" to "we'll make some mistakes but we're going to play faster and much more aggressively -- our qb will run a bit, we'll run the ball out of the shotgun quite a bit, we'll go vertical in the passing game much more often and, oh yeah, we'll go no huddle." I say this as a compliment to DM -- I think he realized after Year 3 that they needed to rethink how they were doing things. Nice to see that it all ended the way it did (the season and bowl win, not DM leaving, of course). [/QUOTE]
