No doubt. Lazor's makeover is complete. Well, almost. I'd say they still have a couple spots to shore up on the line.

And two, one of my only gripes (likely the only currently) about Lazor is that he seems to go away from the run quite easily. He leans more pass heavy, and it show. Andy is on pace to have 616 attempts, and currently has the 9th most attempts.
Agree 100%. We ran more with Mixon than we did with Bernard. I also agree that Lazor may be getting too pass happy.
Too soon to say (IMO), but it's something to keep an eye on. Same thing happened in 2014 with the Dolphins (Lazor's only complete season as OC). The Dolphins finished 2nd in YPC, but were only 22nd in carries (12th in pass attempts).
If the run game is hot, I'd like to see them ride it sometimes. Teams usually kill us in the playoffs by running all over us and shutting our run game down. We need to reverse that to win playoff games.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
