Um, no. You said:
Quote:We made the playoffs those seasons with a very solid offensive line, running game, special teams, and our defense consistently in the top 10.
Implying we made the playoffs due to o-line, run game, special teams and defense.
The run game was terrible, so we were making the playoffs in spite of it.
The special teams was the definition of average.
So that right there throws out literally half of what you listed. The run game and ST were not helping us make the playoffs. Then the other 2 things you listed weren't consistently good for that whole stretch. Pass blocking was flat out bad in 2012, yet we still made the playoffs. You also said defense was "consistently top 10" when it wasn't top 10 in 40% of those years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
