It bothered me to see certain players laughing it up on the sidelines while getting beaten on the field. This team is very different. Even at t he end of the game yesterday their wasn’t a ton of show boating or stupid poses in the end zone. They acted like they expected the outcome. They have their fun and do their talking on the field. When bad things happen they respond with their play rather than melting down. They are mentally and physically tough. Marvin had some physically tough teams but they never had that mental toughness.

If fans have been paying attention, you could tell that was the type of player they were seeking. It's paid off, look at the improvement in penalties. They have drafted guys that are film junkies, guys from winning programs, high football IQs, then doubled down by getting those types in free agency. I haven't studied it, but I don't believe they've drafted anyone that had character concerns, and possibly not signed any FAs with any baggage. Agreed.

Also agree with the OP. Big picture thinking right there.
