This was not a good team last year.
1. Didn't run the ball very well.
2. OL had injuries and was in shambles.
3. Had no DL.
4. LBs all underperformed.
5. S was a mess.
6. Diggs flashed, but otherwise CBs were trash.
One offseason and suddenly:
1. Leading league in rushing with 2 backs never looking better.
2. Lost Collins, yet we have 3 solid new players emerge on OL in Steele, Biadasz, and McGovern.
3. Wow. Just wow. Added 3 contributing rookies and 2 FAs and getting rewarded for stubborn patience with Gregory, and suddenly it looks like the early 90s DL with guys flying all around the QB.
4. No doubt that LVE and Jaylon are better this year. And add possible DROY stud in Parsons and good depth in Neal and rookie Cox.
5. Not a miss with any FA signing. Kearse, Hooker, and the Great Kazoo all giving us solid S play.
6. Diggs has emerged as a superstar in the making, providing the best CB play seen here since Deion. AB gives up plays, but has at least made a few plays. And we have 2 development prospects in Joseph and Wright.
This team is now fast, young, aggressive, dynamic, and deep. They must still mature and grow. We've seen this franchise disappoint too many times, but for now at least the present and future are both bright, and this is fun to watch.
How did we go from that to this in just one offseason?
