Can Germaine Pratt and Darius Phillips get some love?

I can't tell anything about Pratt. I have trouble believing the defense is being schemed correctly for the players. Maybe Pratt will be good some day, but there's no way to tell yet. Still way too many tackles being made by the secondary.

16 games and the coaches still have no clue about their own players. It took Taylor 10 weeks to figure out that Mixon was a good RB and should be run. At this rate, we might have a 4 win season in a few years.

This seems to be a common sentiment, but I don't think it was a lack of giving Joe the ball.  The offensive line was in shambles and was adjusting to a new system.  They improved throughout the year and so did the running game.  At least we saw a team get BETTER at something.
