In hindsight, it was pretty much a pipe dream that this team could be competitive with the players that were holdovers from the Marv era. There's been a big time turnover of the roster and on paper it looks like there's a type of player and scheme they want, so this year should show whether it's a solid plan or not.
Yeah, this year is the tell all with Taylor for sure.
If he doesn't get this team winning this year at least enough games to make the Playoffs I say bye bye to the guy.

Lou is the guy I wanted gone after last season for sure. We will see if we can stay healthy.
I have said it before but when the trenches are as bad as they have been the last few years that inhibits coaching big time.
Hard to know, we should know this year. But even last year when we were relatively healthy on D they sucked under Lou.
Biggest reason I wanted him gone. Then came that last game against the Ratbirds where they just ran all over us.
That sucks, hate to be ran on especially to THAT extent.

True, forgot about how good we were on 4th down with Burrow.
Just wish we were better on 2nd and 3rd downs, hopefully this really improves. Better OL play is key.
Pollack, Reiff, Spain, Carman should help big time.
