I read that Green didn't like his role in the offense. Dunlap obviously didn't like his. They wanted out. One quit, one went through the motions to finish his tenure. It's pretty simple to me, they never bought in. So, as a staff, you want guys who do. It's not "they didn't wanna win", or "these new guys wanna win".... it's who's on board?
Now that it's apparently the case that everyone is on the same page....this team needs to be at least 9-7/7-9, or the entire staff needs to go.
Dead on. And now guys like Bates and Hubbard are the clear leaders on the defense. Burrow and Boyd on the offense. It is going to be really fun watching this young core grow and further develop. I absolutely love how the entire team was at OTAs. The "recruiting dinner" at Ruby's. I haven't seen a team this unified in some time.
To your point, it means nothing if they don't turn that in to wins on the field, but I am very optimistic on this team THIS YEAR.
