We've also seen countless new coaches take over rosters that went 4-12 (for example) and lead them to 13-3 type seasons. If anything, coaching is underrated.1.) The teams have done those transactions also have made major personal moves that have helped there team. Also Marvin has taken a team that had a 4 win season the year prior twice to the playoffs the Next season. Roster upgrades tend to go hand in hand with rebuilding teams.
Zampese was terrible.
Even in 2016, our offense scored 17 or less 7 times.
In 2017, we set franchise records for fewest points/TD's through 2 games.
He didn't get a raw deal. The players (led by AJ Green) held a mutiny to get him out. He should've never been hired. He was underqualified.
As for Lazor, I'm willing to give him a full season before judging. Even Zampese got that much, and he didn't have Lazor's prior success. I will say this, the run game is much improved, and prior to this week, the passing game looked better as well.
2.) Lazor would have had 8 games under 20 as well if it wasn't for the Defense intercepting 4 passes and returning them to the 1 Kirk against Denver and the 2 yard line by Dennard against the Titans, a TD by Jackson, an a TD by Dunlap against the Colts. So it's not like we we're over powering teams with our offense last season. By the way that unit was crap and I think Lazor got the best out of them . So I don't really think it was his problem but the Defense did help them get past 17 a couple of times last season.
