This team was built for an antiquated AFCN approach. The new staff is looking at a modern west coast style of play. We don't have the horses for it across the roster. There are some pieces here and there, but not enough. The team is going to have to get aggressive in its personnel moves and fast. If the team still falls flat, then it's time to look at coaching. With as late of a start as we got assembling the staff due to the archaic rules of hiring coaches until they're done in the playoffs, we were behind the 8 ball before we even got started. A lot of people have lost sight of that little nugget.

EDIT: As a FSU fan, the same thing happened there, and last season looked brutal. This season started about the same, but over the last few weeks, the team has shown signs of pretty good improvement.

Basically, we did have it on offense until they lost Ross and Green, leaving no vertical speed to open up the middle of the field.  The running game also benefits from the vertical speed, forcing opposing defenses to drop their safeties.  We haven't taken a vertical shot since week 1???
Losing Jonah Williams, and Cordy Glenn seemingly losing his balls sure didn't help either.

The defense is a whole other matter.  The lack of talent at the LB position is staggering.  The secondary is loaded with first round picks and can't seem to cover anyone.  The front four that we loved so much in the offseason disappeared after week 1.  They need a TON of roster turnover.
